So bear hunting season is near for those of us in the quebec province, I decided to go to the Crappy Tire near my office to buy my bear permit.


I go to the courtesy desk:
I dont say anything just yet but pulling out my hunters card, the woman clerk says: Oh you want a fishing licence.

me: umm no, I need 2 hunting permits, one for small game and the other for bear

her: ohh... ummm... well we dont have that...

me: dont have what?

her: well... bear.. I dont think we have that

me: umm are you sure? Black bear... (?&$%?)

her: let me check
she goes on her machine and fiddles with it...

her: oh! look at that, we have bear permits too! Black bear, right?

me: yes please, and a small game permit aswell.

her: is this adress correct? (my old adress)

me: no, that's where my parents live, but I've been using that adress for years.

her: well you have to fill this paper, here, you have to fill one (paper) change of adress for each permit

me: but I only have one hunters licence..

her: it doesn't matter you have to fill two.

me: but...


55$ later and a bit of wasted time, I got my permits!
Lord knows what she's going to do with that paperwork. I wonder if she's starting to think there might be bears in this province...
 
Pain in the ass dealing with youngsters who don't have a clue.

I know they have to learn, but the customer is always at the bottom of the s**t slide when it comes to training.

Good on you for not getting upset.

She'll probably want all of the day shifts now because she might run into a bear in the parking lot and they are hard to see at night.:D
 
hey thats better than standing at the gibsons-powel river ferry crossing and having some lady scream out to her 5 year old kid that the big guy in camo is going to KILL BAMBI'S MOTHER :eek: :rolleyes: :rolleyes:


I told Foxer he cant wear camo no more until we are hunting :p

I worked at canadian tire back when I was in school. I got zero training on how to do permits. Just a 'there's the booklets, have at 'er'
 
You should correct her by saying that you'd much prefer to kill Bambi's FATHER! :rolleyes:

This post should read "This is what happens when you try buying hunting permits at cambodia tire"

Happens at all of them. I try never to buy my tags there, but sometimes it just cant be helped :rolleyes:
 
it amazes me how some businessman will own a multi million dollar shop and let some kids run it.....sounds like Michael Jackson's place.

But then again, who else works for $6 per hour.?
 
thats y i prefer the hutning stores with the guys that have brains in and out in 5 minutes but at walmart i have my hunter # card right there and the guy says sorry you have to be 19 to buy a hunting licence my dad looks at me thinking what an idiot this guy is and i show him my name on the # card and he calls his manager who apologises and also has no idea but finaly get it done in about half hour
 
"...dealing with youngsters who don't have a clue..." That get no training and are paid minimum wage.
Don't know about Albert or Quebec, but in Ontario selling hunting licences in a retail shop is a colossal pain in the buttocks. If you mess up the paperwork, in any way, you can be heavily fined. Not enough money in it to cover expenses either. Any place selling them does so as a service for their customers.
 
last season i was at the courthouse on elgin taking care of something figured i was at the payments counter anyway and bought my tags there was a hell of a lot faster at the court house then at lebarons on a quiet day

Kid starts crying - bone starts pointing and laughing - what a mess :)


Actually i did point out we weren't after bambi or his mother... we were after bambi's abusive absentee father last seen running around with some other hussy deer.

She settled right down after that. It's all about 'perspective' right?

Hahaha......too funny. I would try and guess that woman's name but unfortunately I would be guessing for weeks naming the vegitarian, hunter haters living on the coast:eek:
 
Hell, i would have told the kid i was after bambi itself

actually, i think if i kill a deer calf, i'm gonna strap a carboard with BAMBI written on it, and strap bambi on the top of my car, and laugh at every kid crying and their pissed off hippie treehugging granola soccer moms

Oh ya, when does the season start in québec? i dont even know, but i'd like to go this year
 
Ahhh she wasn't so bad :) she sucked it up and realized it was a dumb thing to say and i don't think she had a lot of malice behind it, just a snide remark the kid took litearlly :)

Turns out the kid has already been talking about becoming a hunter, and mom wasn't entirely comfortable with it :) he was talking about going hunting for t-rex's when we left.

THat's why it's so important to have places like this - in a decade or so that kid will remember wanting to hunt, but won't know how to get into it. But i bet he'll know how to use the internet :)

Bambi season starts on the 4th of november in most zones. The only problem is that bambi needs antlers to be shot legally. If you want to shoot bambi himself, you have to either apply for an "antlerless deer" tag (doe tag), and win. This is where you need to apply to be a bambi killer : http://www.sepaq.com/En/index.cfm?Module=TIR

Or, you can wait for the black powder rifle season which is 1 week after regular rifle season, and then you can shoot bambi with a normal tag. The only setback is you need a black powder rifle, obviously.

Check out this site for dates/regulations : http://www.mrnf.gouv.qc.ca/publicat...lementation-chasse/periodes-limites/index.asp

I personally cant wait for bear season... opening in 10 days!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! :D :D :D
