In the end, if checked, I would have no way of proving that he had had less than 3" per side <XXX before shedding,XXX> so did the ethical thing & used my buck tag.
I value my/our hunting privileges too much, to risk loosing my licence for 12 - 24 months !
I agree on the hunting privileges.... A Serious ? Do the regulations SAY anything about BEFORE shedding ? Everywhere things are different.... In Ark my buck was 'antlerless'. No antlers visible, impossible to measure what's NOT there. Just curious about Ontario. Jerry

No Tom, Completely self regulated. However, our CO's can enter any property, without a warrant & I'm hanging our deer in our "shady" neighbours shed ! As said above, I chose to do what I believe was the right thing & was rewarded with the Doe, the next morning ! As meat hunters, we are completely satisfied with our 4 tasty deer. Well, you've covered your bases and don't the right thing in anyones eyes...hard to argue with that! You obviously have more respect for your F&G dept. than we do....

In MI if it is antlerless (under 3") you cant tag it with a buck tag (unless archery hunting). The tag has to be punched with number of points on each antler

The wonk-a-thon, huh?
I'm not surprised given your come-outance into the 6.8mm eurotrash realm that you would pick such obvious limey verbiage.
I suppose we'll have to bribe you with gin?
pip pip, cheerio....

Maybe the orange barrel bait container was the cause. Agent orange doesnt promote great antler development

ha ha Guys do I need to xplain? After I shot the deer I PUT the barrel there to help me LRF. Then it was helpful to prop the head against for the pic. That barrel had a bunch of holes in the bottom so I tried to seal it with JB WELD. There were still pin holes so I gave up. I actually NEVER read the labeling on the barrel. My Dad used it for something, I don't know what. Anyway here's another pic from where I shot. The gate is still open from when I drove there carrying the barrel. That white PVC pipe is a feeder from a PREVIOUS neighbor. You Guys are......I don't know Jerry
