Papers please.

Keeping it ligit means getting all the paperwork required to keep me from getting some enormous fine. So this spring I took my hunters education course and got my hunting license. I got an H2 which means no firearms. If you're goona hunt you may as well do it like a man, take your prey down with a bow, or run it down in the woods, jump on its back, and use a knife to kill it. Maybe I'll stick to bow hunting. Picked up my small games license in case I run into a fox whose just itching to become a boa, you know, the classy ones that have the mouth done up to clamp onto the tail. Pimp! Already got my fishing license.

NOTE: My instructor, Walter Bent(good guy, if you want to take your hunters education I recommend him, he's in Scarborough) advises, based on experience, not to jump out of a tree and onto the back of an antlered deer. Hmmmm!

So that done, I went to get my PCOC (Pleasure Craft Operatots Card) which you need anywhere in Ontario to operate any water craft with a motor on it. (under 10hp might not be required, but check first) Bass Pro cost a few dollars more but they always have someone on hand if you just want to write the exam and if you need they offer a course 2 or 3 times a week.

Still on my list to get this summer:
  • CYA Basic Sailing
  • Coastal Navigation
  • First Aid (one of us will need this real bad one day!)
  • Turkey Seminar (need a seperate turkey sensitvity course to get a license. really?)
  • VHF Radio Operator (that's a big 10-4 buddy...over)

So if any of you slackers are thinking about getting one of these call me and we can do it together. We can be like study buddies or something.
