Cool Crossbow Permit Changes

It was my SawBones that noticed the new checkbox on his end of the process.
"Is this condition permanent"?
Ummm... What's the likelihood of the applicant growing a new shoulder?

Arrived today. PERMANENT Crossbow License for Alberta!!

Let the games commence!!

Cheers,
Nog

Congrats Nog. No more jumping through the yearly hoops.

The lifetime permits were mentioned last year on here. You’re the first I’ve seen that got one though.

http://www.outdoorsmenforum.ca/showthread.php?t=347497

I tried to get mine 2 years ago. I filled out all the paperwork and got a note from my GP and a Physiotherapist. I was denied. Apparently limited range of motion from breaking a collar bone 3 times and two busted up shoulders all from a couple motorcycle accidents wasn’t enough. What I find funny is F&W would rather I try to use a bow despite not being able to do so than just issue the permit in accordance with the rules they set out. The risk to wounding an animal is just too high for me to do so. So, unfortunately no bow season for me.

While I am proud of your decision not to risk woundings, I really have to question WTH they are thinking denying a case as you've laid out. My situation is not a whole lot different - collar bone broken 3 times, two serious dislocations same side, shattered shoulder blade same side, and now both impingement and permanent tendon damage. Pretty much the same boat? If it were me I would reapply, and have you GP point out that you are simply incapable of using a regular bow. Worth a shot - you may end up with someone who understands your situation...

That's ridiculous. Wouldn't want to give you some kind of an "Unfair" Advantage or anything .

How long does it usually take them to decide on the application?

The response to F&W for a denied application after your GP has stated it needed for you is:
"When did you start practicing medicine?"
