180$ fine delevered to my door!

[finsfurfeathers]

Too bad you didn't get a moose.

I filled in my Bear report last night & will be sending it in with the teeth today well ahead of the deadline.

I sent in Bear teeth last season & never got the crest or a report about my Bear. I included a note in there that if we go through the trouble of submitting the teeth the least they could do is send me the patch & info about my bear...

Maybe it just got lost in the mail.......

I do not remember seeing anywhere in the regulations that a specified fine of $180 is to be issued if you don't report.

I've attached a link below that lists the preset fines that the MNR imposes...I was going to direct you straight to the applicable fine...but I think it get more out of it if you scan thru and see what it will cost you if you break a rule....

Ignorance of the law is no excuse. Good on the OP for stepping up honestly when interviewed. Mandatory reporting for all species is common in almost all other jurisdictions. Northern US states require reporting and attending at check stations with all big game kills within 24hrs.

If you look online it is mandatory to report the questionaire 14 days after the last day of hunting in specific wmu...Inlcuding 65!!!......48...55A...55B....and 57

mandatory..you agree to it when you buy a tag...if you can't afford the $0.85 cents then you really can't afford the tag let alone the $180 fine.

The OP has owned up...good for him and we all got the benefit from this thread to remind us of our obligations.

My issue is not the money but to get the stamp. If it was already include it wouldn't seat on my desk or truck for months....

Also, when we buy a tag where does it says, or who told us, that will we have to complete anything? No where, it's kind a surprise....

And that questionnaire is BS anyway, I don't think anyone is honest. If you believe this report everyone saw moose, wolf, bear and deer!

Exactly.

It doesn't say Mandatory on any of the questionaires I have other than the black bear.

I would only agree if 100% of the all hunters were being asked, so the cost of postage would be paid for out of the General funds....but since these questionnaires are specific to only a small group, why should the general funds be used....besides if your arguing the point on here, it's a moot point, because you have access to the internet and it can be done for FREE.

I wouldn't have agreed to the fact that people would 'lie' on the questioner, but apparently, by some of the posts on here, it is apparent that people are willing to lie freely and encourage others to do so also....go figure

Well, I just did it online and it was a LOT of work! I had to go all the way to my truck to get my wallet and then I had to open it to get my Outdoor Card!!!! If it was pre-stamp I would have drop it on the secretary desk and she would have took care of if.....

Really, why would I shoot myself in the foot and tell them I didn't see anything.....

It seems we won't need to ask why hunter imput to EBR's etc. is largely ignored,then,will we? If this is the case,it's small wonder OMNRF regard hunters as bare-faced liars. We are our own worst enemies.
