Heard about changes to the system for 2019 from another site and it was confirmed this week from the MNRF newsletter. It states:
•In 2019, game seals will be replaced by "tags". You'll have the option to print your tag from home, making it easier to prepare for hunting season. Plastic see-through luggage tag holders can help protect your tags from the elements.
It also mentions that in 2019 mandatory reporting will be required for all day holders whether you harvest an animal with that tag or not. I never had an issue with this as it only helps the research end of things. But the tag printing may cause some issues that I could forsee...eg. reprinting and reharvesting on the same tag or even tag modification using a pdf editor....I hope I'm wrong and they've safeguarded against these possible issues. It's amazing how hard some people will work to scan the system
