tags and unrecovered game

[krakadawn]

It is written that a migratory bird that is shot and not recovered is to be included in your daily bag limit but nothing in Ontario regulations.

Where is this written?

It is written that a migratory bird that is shot and not recovered is to be included in your daily bag limit but nothing in Ontario regulations.

So basicly after you had shot AT birds equal to the bag limit you would have to stop hunting that day? Every time you shot at the bird you could in your theroy have hit it but never recovered it, so it counts against your bag limit.

But lets say you do find the animal the next day and half eaten by yotes , I would consider a tag should be used regardless if edible or not.

That's the rule at our camp; the wise old geezers who made it figured it would encourage better shooting and putting more effort in finding they deer.

So I ask the question again.....where do you believe this statement is written?

Note to self: Never hunt with outfitters with an a**hole attitude like that. That's nuts.

I don't see a problem with that, it helps keep the a**hole hunters else where instead of ruining his business

Ruining his business? How? Are you saying that outfitter's clients are such lousy shots that they wound enough animals to affect his business? I ain't buyin' it.

Ok, so an outfitter sets up baits and stands for clients, a couple of a**holes come in and wound game all week until they harvest something, what do you think any of the other clients or outfitters in the area will have to say about that, what do you think is going to happen to the management of game in his area?

And you aint huntin at any of the outfitters that have any kind of ethics

There's out fitters in Ontario that say if you draw blood and no recovery, your hunt is over...

I can accept that. It would make the shot placement decision very critical as it always should be-/-/------->

[LowbanksArcher]

I remember it was a law like this in Alaska that got uncle Ted in some hot water years ago. Draw blood, your tag is used. I can see why some outfitters would use this policy.
