Here are the facts after much digging.
The lady at pass and permit said you did`nt need one then the next time there the other lady said you did. I decided to ask the folks that write the tickets. Here are the facts.
YOU MUST QUALIFY ONE TIME AND PASS AND KEEP THE PASSING PERMIT ON YOU WHILE HUNTING.
YOU DO NOT NEED TO UPDATE EVERY YEAR UNLESS YOU WANT TO HUNT IN THE CONTAINMENT AREAS" AROUND TOWN".
ONE MORE TIME. YOU MUST QUALIFY AT LEAST ONCE AND KEEP THE PERMIT ON YOU.
IF YOU ARE GONNA GUN HUNT YOU MUST PRE-REGISTER YOUR FIREARM BEFORE HUNTING. DONT EXPECT TO DO THAT THE SAME DAY OF HUNTING.
I would advise calling and setting up a time for your shooting test. for traditional you must shoot 2 of 3 arrows in a paper plate at 15 and 20 yards. I know one fella that showed his bowhunter safety card and they did not make him shoot. Don`t know if that will work everytime.
For the record hogs are THICK there this year.
