Can I ask, did you solo hunt or go with your club?
I am really interested in hunting and want to get into it, but alas none of my my mates are into shooting, and my current rifle club is a target shooting club?
I am already a member of the SSAA, so I was thinking I might look into from that way.

Get involved with your local hunting club. Get your R licence if your in NSW so you can hunt public land. And just get out bush.

How strange. Do you live in a regional part of NSW perhaps ? Maybe they still haven't processed the paperwork at ServiceNSW? Or were late to process it for whatever reason?
Really really hope my card arrives tomorrow.
duddley75 wrote:So I am confused.
My licence just showed up in the post....but FAR still says not valid..WTF?????
Another call to FAR, says data not updated. Have to wait for that still before I can do PTA.
However with licence in hand, I think i can still go shopping on Saturday and put a deposit down.

Can't apply for PTA yet. (I am guessing in a day or so)
Having said that I put a deposit on rifle and scope this morning.
