New & improved Swamp

[Paule]

So I call California fish and game on the phone to see if there is a faster way to obtain a non-resident license and Pig tag. I was happy to find out that I may do this over the fax machine. The only problem is that I needed proof of a hunter’s safety course. I took mine over 15 years ago. How would a 13 year old hold on to information that long? What do these people expect? The polite lady told me that my Oregon’s Hunting license would be sufficient. The fax will be arriving in about 15 minutes. They told me that approximately 20-30 minutes after they receive the fax they would call me back with conformation and my numbers to send to the Guide. Now was that easy or what?

I feel it’s kind of stupid for California to ask for proof of hunters safety, but accept an out of state license as substitute. In Oregon they didn’t ask if I had taken any safety class. Just for my Odl. I don’t know maybe Oregon has it on record that I did take one? That would make sense. Otherwise I see it as another useless law of restriction that is easily circumvented..

Any thoughts?

BTW Paule has ELK TAG! No Draw! Will be planning a trip to the Wilson/Trask area to hunt in the snow. Throw in a little white tail action before hand, to get a good scout on my area and That should do it for this year and hunts. California Wild Boar followed by Alaskan caribou topped off by a little local deer and elk hunts. Who could ask for anything more?

Now thinking 2002!
Prong Horn in Arizona???

Thank You God.
