An "Outdoor Card" story

[Fawkinnae]

If you ever fish Canada - Ontario that is, By now you are familiar with the "Outdoor Card". It's about a $10 item, good for 3 years, and you need to buy one/have one in order to purchase a fishing license. I bought one in the summer of 2009, and forgot to bring it with me on a lake trout fishing trip in February 2011. #@##!!!  So I had to buy a new one, and assumed the 3 year cycle would begin again from that time with the new card.

Getting ready for this summers trip discover that I don't have a card from 2011. Called the number on the paper form from 2011 (waited on the phone for 20 minutes), only to discover that my card really is expired. The 2011 purchase does NOT start a new 3 year cycle.

Just thought you should know.

you would think that after all this time canada would just realize it's a national park created by the US and just thank us when we decide to acknowledge/grace them with a visit. I've seen what they call bacon and vinegar on fries? they're just confused. consider this, when you buy a new card tip with old mc donald ketchup packs.. you would be doing them a favor.
