In September I did the online renewal for my pal and today while getting gear ready realized i still didn't receive it, so check website see that it was issued the same month. Phoned the supplied phone number if there are issues talked to the service rep and explained the situation and was told the following " that once my old PAL expires I must then hunt with another PAL holder until mine arrives (re-issued 2 to 3 weeks), I tried to explain that I hunt alone and there was no one else hunting on the property and asked if the card has been issued and not delivered why I cannot hunt. To which I was told the same answer holding back the urge to swear I said thank you for your help and have a good day. So kicking my for not thinking of it sooner a bright side I can get 1st week in with shotgun maybe 2 week I can bow hunt.
