What to do after turkey test?

[creemore]

Hi there,
Hope someone out there can help me out.
I just wrote my turkey test last saturday and am wondering what to do now. Do I have to wait until tags are for sale in April before I can get my T license? Or do I have to go to a Service Ontario and get my card updated?
Thanks for your help

Go update your card. And if you got a long time to go before it renews like me.. I n a few weeks tell them you lost it. And pay the replacement fee... The new replacement should come with the T.. That way you dont have to carry that stupid piece of paper everywhere..

STOP - did you just renew your card? Why pay anymore for an update for the "T". IF you buy your license from Service Ontario their system will be updated with the fact that you've passed the course. They can issue you your license and tag(s) then. The only way you can purchase the license is to have passed the course. Once tags come on sale later this winter go to SO with your valid hunting version outdoors card and valid small game license and purchase. Take your course certificate with you - just in case you slipped through the cracks but I'm pretty sure you'll be fine. Topher - how old are you?...........lol. Did someone tell you you had to carry the "stupid piece of paper with you"?

33.. Yes.. They did.. Till I get a card with the t.. J got enough pieces of paper lol.. (Cant afford the three year tags every year) so I end up getting one year tags... Which means a paper for small game.. A paper for fishing.. Another for turkey.. (If get one)... I hate paper.. Makes my wallet fat.

Once you pass the test, you can go and buy your Wild Turkey tag(s) once they are available. No reason to carry any paper. Good luck hunting Wild Turkeys. Where are you located? PM if you are interested in going out some time.

Long before you will even be able to buy your tag S.O will be updated and you'll be good to go. In the meantime I'd:

Purchase a box call, diaphragm call, and a slate call and learn how to use them. Get yourself a hub style blind (and learn how to set it up quickly) and a realistic hen decoy (or two) if you want to try decoying. Pattern your shotgun & get permission for hunting ground. By the time you have a handle on all that it will be time to purchase your tag. Best of luck this spring!

Once you pass the test, the examiner will submit your results on your behalf, he or she will also provide you with a carbon copy of your results. You MUST keep this copy on your person while Turkey hunting. It is the only way to identify to a CO that you have taken and passed the course and are licensed. You also must provide this carbon copy to the license issuer with buying a turkey license.

Once it is time to renew your outdoors card, you will get a new one with the T on it, and then the carbon copy can be thrown away.

Yes you must carry the carbon copy of your passed exam, until such time as you renew your outdoors card and get a T on it.

So if I have this straight, I don't need to carry a piece of paper around because they have it on record that I passed the test, correct? Do I still have to go to a SO with my yellow paper and let them know that I passed the test? Should I just wait until tags are available?
