You may obtain an export permit from most Service Ontario offices in the area where the animal has been taken. You should obtain the export permit before reaching a border point to avoid any inconvenience.

You must keep the game seal attached to the deer while you are transporting it.
this permit is required to export from Ontario any part of the deer, including carcass, hide or antlers.
