I'm still waiting for my 2013 licence. Renewed in December, and I've been carrying the print out ever since.

 

I understand that it's expired, but I would fight any charge based on the fact that they haven't sent me the dang thing yet.

 

Anyone else in the same boat?

 

I guess I'll start annoying someone at the MNR now.

Come to thnk of it,I havent got mine as well. I have the print off,plus my credit card payment. I will fight as well.If it came to that But I dought any normal MNR human being would push it.

i just get mine at canadian tire.

 

 

not to hijack, but i was checked by MNR at simcoe coming off the lake a couple weeks ago. (no fish in my possession)

 

Not that i mind, because i had it on me.....but if i forgot it, could he have done anything? i wasnt fishing at the time, and had no fish in my possession

If you had fishing gear with you, you might have some explaining to do.

Sure, he could have charged you with not having your license while you were fishing...

I bought my 2013 license and got my yellow card. My outdoors card was expired and am still waiting for it to come in the mail...it's been at least 5 weeks now.

 

I've been checked for my license twice now and the yellow card was sufficient [obviously].

Renewed in December.. got card in early January. eazy peazy.. give'm a call to see where yours is. I shreaded my printouts but I don't remember an expiry date on them...

Convictions are based on proof beyond a reasonable doubt. If you are coming off the lake with fishing equipment, then what are the chances that you had not been fishing? You might have a chance if were driving a sled with a passenger who did have a license; then you could say you only drove out there to pick your friend up. It really comes down to what the CO and the judge believe.

CO can easily look your name up in the system as well.. Most guys aren't going to ticket you because you don't have the license on you (I've been checked a few times without my card, they took my name/info never an issue)

don't worry guys. I haven't received mine either and I renewed 2nd week in Jan.

Had a CO visit my hut this past weekend and showed him the paper receipt and he was fine, almost expected it.

 

come and gone in 30 sec.

Ordered mine online on the 15th of january. Called in last Friday and I was told I'd have it in 3 weeks. Trouble is I don't have the print out and they can't send it to you again.. So technically I've been fishing without a licence. I was told that I could get fined for fishing without one and the person on the phone recommended I make my way to Queens Park and pay the $10.50 for a temporary one. Nuts to that!!

 

Still waiting... Going to have to bite it and get the temporary for our upcoming trip to Cochrane.. Am I the only one or does this sound totally bogus?!

I think it has been rectified now; but at one point the fine for forgetting to bring your licence was higher than the fine for not having a licence at all.

 

I do recall a story on this board about someone having their equipment confiscated because they had forgot to bring their licence with them. I that is rediculous for such a minor offence; but they can do it.

Sounds like crap to me.

 

I'm sure the system is kinda buggered because it's new, but it should be pretty simple if you ask me.

Renewed online late dec, still carrying the printout in a ziploc baggy. I've had friends who waited up to 4 months before receiving their card. This is the longest I've ever personally waited.

If your just getting a one year license & not an Outdoors Card at the same time you will not get a stricker no matter where you buy it.

You have to carry the print out for the year. A yellow tag from a license issuer or a computer printout if you do it on line.

Wait a minute, are you suggesting that I have to carry my printed piece of 8 1/2 by 11 around with me in a ziplock all year?

Mine expires this December 31st… maybe I should start now.
