I have no problem with that, although today at least in Ontario your probably going to get asked for that PAL if your out and about.

I have only ever been asked for my PAL once by the Ottawa Police. I can tell you I doubt if he has ever seen one before. I realized after giving it to him that it was expired by 1 year the good one was underneath it.

Honestly, ask yourself how many times have you been asked for anything in Ontario?
I have been hunting for 22 years now and I have been checked by the Ministry once, been fishing all my life and never been checked fishing, not even a road side stop coming back from the north.

Not being checked is a matter of luck ,and perhaps hunting in less frequent areas.
In a course of 25 years i have been checked 2 x roadside MNRF Moose hunter check while driving home (both at Sault St Marie)everyone looking like a hunter was pulled over ,and checked from top to bottom.
Guns pulled-chambers checked-the whole package.
2 x while deer hunting coming out from the bush,and 2 x just waking alongside main road(going to my spot)The main road was NOT 401 ranked though...........
2x up in moose hunting -straight in the camp/or just around the camp-plus once coming out from the clear-cut.
Once driving out from the bush ,on moose hunt-was stopped on asphalt ,ways away from hunting roads-road side check.
Maybe more-just can not remember.
Lack of the draw.
All is good as long as all is good -and we had no issues.

I have been checked at least 5 separate times, several times on roadside check's in Northern Ontario, once by the OPP when the registry was in full swing and at least 3 times at the camp. Even had a CO walk right into the camp from the road. All in order all times. I am in wmu 60
WHICH HAS THE HIGHEST NUMBER OF HUNTERS SO ITS A TARGET RICH ENVIROMENT.

Actually this summer fishing in Espanola I don't really remember the CO asking for my Outdoors card.
I showed him the one fish I had and we chatted a bit. Didn't ask for my boating card either.

Under careful consideration I do feel it would be better NOT to tell anyone the previous non-restricted firearms were sold or transferred to another PAL holder. You would be much better just saying it broke years ago and you cut it up and threw it away.
Less paperwork!

I think I have been asked for my PAL/validation/game seal once when we were gun hunting during the dark days of the gun registry. I get been asked for my fishing license and boat license a couple of times a year.
