Outdoors Card renewal messed.

[jedimaster]

So I just renewed my license, it says it takes 20 days to mail so hopefully I get it by Jan 1... So whats the screw up????

Well I printed out the E-license...

On the E-license which is a RENEWAL for EXPIRED outdoors cards it states and I quote....

 

"The products on the e-license are not valid unless accompanied by a valid Outdoors Card, and/or licence tag, and or validation tag where required...."

 

Now how is it possible for me to acocmpany this e-license with a valid outdoors card when this is a renewal for an expired and thus not valid outdoors card?

 

I sure hope I get my new outdoors card before I need to carry this one. I am sure I'll nailed for this.

Do they mean your old card? I know the wording is messed but what isn't with government.

I went to CTC becasue I lost my outdoor card and 3 year fishing license. They gave me a yellow tag which says the same thing??? DUH my outdoor card is lost?? I am still waiting for a new one. It's been since the 2nd week of September?

The print out states.. well if you did it correctly..

 

E-licence

 

Temporary Outdoors Card Valid 2012.12.3 - 2015.12.31

 

Fishing Licence - 3 Yr Valid 2012.12.3 - 2015.12.31

 

 

Covers everything you need... print a few copies or photocopy them. Put one in everything you own and you'll be good to go! Carry the old card for good luck!

No they mean the new printout is not valid without a valid outdoors card... yet its a renew for my now expired and thus not valid outdoors card. Stupid govt cant even make a temp outdoors card.

Don't worry about it, what are the chances you will be checked anyway.

Same here. I went into Sevice Ontario today and renewed my card, fishing licence (sporting), and small game licence all for 3 years. My yellow print outs all say the same thing about a valid card ?????

Does your print out state Temporary Outdoors Card? and show it's validity to 2015?? That is all you need, don't forget they call a birth certificate showing you are over 65 a Fishing licence!

[jedimaster]

I thi what it should say is

"This temporary E-license outdoors card is only valid if accompanied by a valid license tag and or validation where required."

in other owrds the outdoors card renewal is not a valid fishing license if you also bought the fishing license and or small game licence tag.

 

big diffrence from

"The products on the e-license are not valid unless accompanied by a valid Outdoors Card, and/or licence tag, and or validation tag where required...."

 

I am pretty sure if I got checked and flashed this to the CO the convo would go like this...

CO, "Where is your valid outdoors card..."

Me, "Its right here this is my temporary..."

CO, "It says right here that its not valid unless acocmpanied by avalid outdoors card"

Me, "OMG gimmie my stupid ticket and i'll see you in court"

CO, "Here you go, please pas me your fishing rods as you are poaching without a license..."

 

haha, I am not overtly worried as I am sure they will adhee by the 20 day delivery date, just like my deer tag this year that got mailed to the wrong address in the wrong city... cough cough

[irishfield]

Read it again Jedi....

 

The products on the e-license are not valid unless accompanied by a valid Outdoors Card, and/or licence tag, and/or validation tag where required

.

 

The paper, at least that I printed has typed right on it TEMPORARY OUTDOORS CARD-FISHING VALIDITY 2012.12.3 - 2015.12.31

 

THAT is your "and/or validation"!

[jedimaster]

We will see....

"Remember - you aren't paranoid if they're really out to get you!"

[adempsey]

Technically you cannot have a valid outdoors card AND a new 3 year license. The card expires in three years as well now. So, even if you have 1 year left on your card, you will need to buy a new card to go with your 3-year license. I would just buy a new card and print the temporary e-card. Assuming the site allows that at all. It's not very obvious what's going on with that website IMO.

 

Assuming I understand what you're saying anyway, lol.

My outdoors card expired this year, as does my fishing validation for the year, so I bought the outdoors card renewal, the 3 year sport fishing and 3 year small game tag. They all show up on the e-license but for whatever reason it still says on it that the e-license is not valid unless accompanied by a valid outdoors card.
