In the back of his truck, with the deer....when you read the actual legislation, it says the tag has to be attached to the “carcass”, as indicated on the tag. Obviously the CO interpreted that to be the whole animal, not a detached head that may or may not belong to the skinned carcass. Stands to reason, from his perspective, the head and tag says buck, when the skinned carcass could have been a doe.....from an enforcement perspective, it makes sense.
This was a few years ago when your deer had to be tagged when transporting.

It used to say 'attached' it has been changed to 'with' as indicated on your tag.

Now don,t get abusive because you have been playing fast and loose with your so often quoted regulations.You have also indicated on several posts certain things I was supposed to have said and I called you out on them and you still have not replied.Post 96 and Post 97.You got any more porkies to tell,I kind of like your far fetched post #51 LOL

"Haha, they must have gotten them in the last three weeks !! The CO that we spoke to, just dated and initialled our tags....why? Who knows!! I suppose if he checked us again and we had tags that weren’t initialed, we would have some splainin’ to do.."

Ok, one last time....here is the actual regulation. Read it over slowly......I don’t care what you think the tag says.... this is the actual “law”....Especially Sub (4)...and Sub (5)....

Once you are at the butchers, tagging and possession of your tag no longer apply.

Your first line does not comply with the law in the last line.Next.

You really must work on your comprehension skills !

[skull]

All this confusion could’ve been easily solved if the MNR learned from some of the USA state.
Most of the place that I hunt down in the USA you have a tags that part you have to keep it with the meet
and part of it you have to keep it with the antler and Cape

[onelessarrow]

So, ignore the new revisions in the summary and on the tag, because they won't have any practical application like instruction, traceability or requirement.

Instead, we're to believe that the regulations you posted, illustrates that we're now not allowed to skin a deer before we take it to a butcher? Seriously.
Nothing in the regs you reference prohibits the separation of the carcass.
The only reference is on the tag. It now instructs you to keep the head with the carcass. There is no other reason to have that written on the tag other than to instruct those who have separated the carcass.

I suppose if a "certain member" on here is stuck in the stone age and believe CO,s are running around "initialing" tags by hand and do not now use scanners to record tags that are invalidated we will get unneeded confusion.It seems pretty common sense to me that is why the tag is left with the butcher to record it being now used,the same way if they checked a camp,found 4 deer hanging with tags filled out they would also scan them into a database.There must be some way the MNR are able to track and record tags filled out.
