I heard their not even giving out licenses with the "covid 19 pandemic " not sure if its true but a friend of mine that wants to go for his gun liscense has decided not to due to him hearing about the new applications just sitting there and not being looked at what so ever. I would be curious to know because I told him next spring I'm doing a spring bear hunt and told w of my friends its a "guys weekend" you have 2 years to make it happen. Curious if I'm gonna be making this hunt by my self or with my wife either way I enjoy hunting with my wife its a nice break for both of us to get away lol

I would advise against a 17HMR if you actually want to eat your grouse.

My HMR keeps 3/4 inch groups at 100 yards (no wind). It has taken many grouse with head shots in the 20 to 50 yard range. No damage to edible parts whatsoever.
The wilderness is not a stadium where I satisfy my ambition to achieve, it is the cathedral where I worship.

They still processing applications but are about 6 months behind is what I heard. With the current lockdown CFSC testing is stalled again so I'm hoping they will be getting caught back up. My wife and sons applications are going in the mail this week.

I use the 20gr hollowpoints with my HMR, don't explode like the 17gr vmax on impact.

Not sure about new licenses, but renewing was a breeze. I filled out renewal mid December, and had a new PAL in hand 12 days later...I was a bit surprised at the speed........
This isn't a test run................Enjoy er'.......

Same for me it was pretty fast turnaround for a renewal on-line.
