Outfitters Moose Tag Allocation Artifcle

[chris lavoie]

I just checked out what you guys are talking about. I found a outfit here charging $4600.00 per person. Includes guide, tent camp, flyin, B&M. Includes transport of moose. THEN it says $500.00 for an extra BULL tag. Over and above the license they already bought at about $500.00.

Here is the first I heard of them doing this and now I see your guys point!!

Can't see it being illegal if they are advertising it. Must be a loophole.

the whole system is totally screwed up!

No loophole. Nobody checking. Copy the add and send it in to the tips line or your local MNRF enforcement office.

Years back we stayed at a lodge in Armstrong for a moose hunt and since there were 8 of us we drew a bull tag in the draw and the lodge owner asked us if we would like a cow tag as well. So for $900 bucks we bought the tag so we would be good for any adult moose we would encounter. I never thought much about it until reading this thread that it may have been illegal for them to sell us the tag ? And could we have been in violation for actually buying the tag ?

Technically,yes because you were a party to the offense. Was the "tag" turned back to him at the end of your stay or did your party keep it to use,again,later? If you turned the tag back to him,he would sell it to someone else and pocket another $900 and on and on until the tag was filled or the season ended. Neat trick if you can get away with it. If your party retained the Cow tag,used it and got caught...o-h-h-h-h boy! You would have financed the next provincial election all by yourself. LOL

One way to stop it is to ask the OMNR. If it is deemed illegal, then ask them to check it out. Only way to stop it if it's illegal and will make you guys feel better!!

Wow, When he asked us about the cow tag he called it an outfitters tag or something like that and said that the MNR gives them too outfitters to be used by clients. We thought it was normal and bought the tag , we did not fill the tag and it went home with us and it was only good in that wmu for a cow. It was more than 10 years ago so the statute of limitations is in effect. Right? LOL

Yeah,I wouldn't be concerned about it,now. Keep it in mind if it ever happens again,though.

An outfitter can be charged with counciling his client wrong. Don't think a client would be charged.

So how do outfitters get these co called client tags?
