tb4me Posted January 28, 2013 Author Report Share Posted January 28, 2013 (edited) Right on! Congrats! You may as well forget about fishing from sept till Jan now, and yeah, blow the dust off the wallet! What do you want to hunting first? S. I have been invited by a friend to go deal with some cyotes on his farm. He has well over 30 guns.. Going to go have at a few of them to see wich ones I like best. I suppose thats a good start. Im most looking forward to deer season next year.. I have already been invited to join a group. I was supposed to be ready for this years hunt and I got lazy and didnt do it. Missed out on a great hunt this year. The group filled out all thier tags. Including 2 , 8 point bucks..Lets hope next year is just as good..

NAW Posted January 28, 2013 Report Share Posted January 28, 2013 Good on ya man! The PAL papers can take a while to get in the mail. Mine took a few months. Are you going to stick to the guns, or get in to bow hunting at all? Hunting can be a lifestyle for some people. More then just a week long deer hunt once a year. Enjoy it!

BillM Posted January 28, 2013 Report Share Posted January 28, 2013 PAL will definitely take some time... Took probably a month and a half to get mine after it was submitted. Congrats! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bushart Posted January 28, 2013 Report Share Posted January 28, 2013 Congrats and my PAL renewal also took 2 mos my advice on the hunting/shooting Practice...practice...practice-----moving targets as well once you get your gun dialed in & Always try to make that 1st shot count Good luck---it's a great time being in the woods Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jedimaster Posted January 28, 2013 Report Share Posted January 28, 2013 (edited) Yep, it'll take about 2 months, plenty of time for you to list some fishing stuff for sale and start putting money away for the new shotgun, rifle and muzzle loader.

farsider Posted January 28, 2013 Report Share Posted January 28, 2013 Go to the Canadian Gun Nutz forum. They have an excellent pinned thread on how to speed up your Pal approval process. The biggest thing is to go online to the CFC site after you have submitted your application and monitor the progress. Call in for your interview and have your references call in for their interviews as well. I did my non and restricted and hunting this past year. They are mandated to hold your application for a min. of 28days. I followed the advice from CGN and it was sent right out after the 28 days even with restricted. The hard part is finding land to hunt on. I am looking forward to my first turkey hunt this spring. Cheers, Mark Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Im not worried as all my references are good and I have never been divorced. That got me thinking here. Am I allowed to fre any non restricted gun without the PAL process completed? My friend says he is sure im allowed as long as he is there with me. I know I can bow hunt any time I want now that I completed the hunter Ed course. The last thing I want to do is get caught with a gun in my havd before the process is completed (card in hand) and ruin it all fo rme. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BruceCfisher86 Posted January 28, 2013 Report Share Posted January 28, 2013 Don't be afraid to check out County Forest Tracts, I started hunting 7 years ago and Have had more success on public land then anywhere! They are my go to spots for me to take my daughter for an outing because there is usually a descent consentration of animals(during bow season that is), unfortunatly when the pushers come for gun week...This usually all comes to an end! Good luck! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
