That's good to know.  I'd assume though, that any sporting goods store in Ft Francis, or likely any outfitter could issue the card ?  be kind of stupid on thier part to turn away anyone who didn't know about the card ahead of time.

I WAS planning on buying my card and license at the Atikokan office, so thanks for the heads up - I'll have to stop in Ft Francis I guess - don't have any credit cards so I can't get the card online - all in all, its a pretty stupid system I think.
