I think you better contact a CO with regards to this.
The new tagging requirements are not very clear but it looks like you need to maintain the sex organs.
You no longer have to put a tag on your moose in Ontario just notch the date and time of harvest. The tag holder has to accompany the moose while being transported.
Page 32 and 33 of your hunter summary.
NEW
Tag
A tag is a component of a hunting licence,
and was previously referred to as a game
seal. The tag authorizes the tag holder
to hunt a member of the species of game
specified on the tag, subject to conditions
specified on the tag. Only one animal may
be harvested per tag. Tags must be carried
in paper format. Tags cannot be carried or
presented to a conservation officer on an
electronic device. Tags are equipped with
document security features to discourage
fraudulent activities. It is illegal to alter,
modify, counterfeit or copy a tag or to
possess such a tag. Notching the tag is
permitted.
Getting a Tag:
Tags are printed on regular paper and can
be obtained:
• online through the licensing service and
printed using a personal computer, or
• in person by visiting a licence issuer or
participating ServiceOntario centre.
Tags can only be printed once. If a tag is
lost, damaged or stolen, and a replacement
is necessary, you will be required to
visit a licence issuer or participating
ServiceOntario centre for a replacement.
Damaged tags must be surrendered before
a replacement tag will be issued. All
replacements will be tracked in the licensing
service. An administration fee of $10.50 is
applied for any replacement tags.
It is illegal to create or be in possession
of a modified, copied or counterfeit tag. It
is illegal to apply for, purchase or possess
more than one tag, unless specifically
permitted (e.g., additional deer tag, second
bear tag).
Note: The tag issued with your deer,
moose, bear and elk licence will not be
listed on your Licence Summary.
Tag
Maintaining a Tag:
Tags must remain intact and readable at
all times. It is your responsibility to ensure
paper tags are protected from the weather
or other types of damage. There are
products available to help ensure your tag is
protected from damage (e.g., commercially
available tag holders or resealable plastic
bags).
Tagging Requirements:
Specific tagging instructions will be provided
with your tag. Make sure you carefully read
and follow the tagging instructions that
accompany your tag. A summary of the new
tagging requirements is provided below:
Notching: You must invalidate your tag
by notching the day, month and time
immediately after the kill, at the site of the
kill and before moving the animal.
"The Question Was When Moose is Processed at Camp"
" Identifying Features: For deer, moose
and elk you must keep relevant sex and
age identifying features while the animal
is transported to the site of processing.""
The instructions provided with your tag will
specify what identifying features must remain
with the animal while it is being transported.
The relevant sex and age identifying features
must remain with the animal regardless of
whether you have attached the tag, or you
are accompanying the animal without the tag
attached.
Note: If you are transporting a portion of
a carcass that does not have a tag (e.g.,
the animal was divided or quartered at your
hunt camp prior to final transport), you
must be prepared to provide information
about the tag holder (e.g., name, Outdoors
Card number, licence number) and details
of the hunt (e.g., date and location of kill)
if requested by a conservation officer. Refer
to the General Regulations section for
additional requirements if you are shipping
or transporting wildlife in containers.
Attaching Your Tag: You are not required
to attach the tag if you are immediately
accompanying the animal or immediately
available to produce the tag for inspection.
For example, the tag holder may carry the
notched/invalidated tag in a pocket while
bringing the harvested animal out of the
bush provided that the tag holder remains
with the animal while it is being moved.
However, you MUST attach the tag if you
are not immediately accompanying the
animal or immediately available to produce
the tag for inspection. For example, the tag
holder must attach the tag if he/she leave
the harvested animal at any time, including:
• transporting the animal in a vehicle that
is not occupied by the tag holder,
• leaving the animal at camp while the tag
holder goes out party hunting,
• leaving the animal at a butcher for
processing.
The instructions provided with your tag will
specify where you must attach the tag to the
animal. Your tag should be accessible and
visible for inspection purposes even when
the tag is attached to the harvested animal.
The tag must remain on your person, or
attached to the animal (when required),
until the animal is processed and prepared
for long-term storage.
IMPORTANT: If you are unsure about
whether or not to attach your tag, you should
attach it.
Yah, but if it's butchered you would still have to prove the type of animal, sex and age.
Ask a CO for sure
Your outfitter should be able to answer that one also.
He's responsible for flying it out legally
No idea but good luck with the hunt! :)
Yeah but Im flying myself in.Quote:

Thanks BPR 30-06 I will however check with a CO too
We transport cut and frozen moose all the time, just need the info from the tag, tag holders name, address, licence number....etc...
But, call your CO.....
Different rules once it has been processed......
You need to keep proof of sex and to prove that it is infact a cow and not a calf. How you do that is up to you!

Friends just came back with a Cow already butchered and wrapped while at camp. They used a freezer and generator kit on a flat bed trailer to bring the meat back. They packed the sex part separately with the meat and were stopped for a spot check on the way home north of Gogama. The CO asked for the paperwork,checked everything and sent them on their way. No fuss,no muss.
the vulva must be attached to some portion of the hind quarter,
Pretty hard to do when the meat is already cut and wrapped.Quote:

The moose tagging instructions say in #3. keep the relevant sex and age identifying features noted above with the carcass until it has been transported to the site of processing and is being processed for long term storage. To me this means that once it is cut and wrapped it is now prepared for long term storage. it is not in long term storage but is prepared for it. So once it is cut and wrapped the sex and age identifiers don't need to be with it. Doesn't hurt to carry it if you want to. If you are transporting a freezer full i would have the tag on me if i'am in the vehicle transporting it or lay it in the freezer with the meat.
