We all know that turkey season is getting closer, only ten days to go! I should be very excited along with everyone else right now but I have one big problem... My PAL is being processed right now. :(

That means that I won't be able to turkey hunt. Not unless I get it in the mail before season is over. If they are true to their 45 day average then I should have recieved my PAL in the mail about half way through season.

I'm hoping it will get here sometime before it is all over.

I'm thinking I might try to find a crossbow to borrow from someone and that way I can still get out. If not I think I will go out at least once armed only with a camera.

Ok if your PAL hasnt expired yet then you are in good shape. As for a 45 day waiting period I hate to break it to you but in lots of cases its up over 90 days
There is no such thing as bad venison, its just some is better then others.

This will be my first PAL because I'm moving up from my minors license now that I have turned 18.

Hunt with a buddy who has a PAL and borrow their gun. Check, but that's legal as far as I know. That or crossbow or bow.

I think a bow is still considered a firearm to, you might want to look into that.
Political Correctness is a doctrine fostered by a delusional, illogical, liberal minority,and rabidly promoted by an unscrupulous mainstream media, which holds forth the proposition that it is entirely possible to pick up a bowel movement by the clean end

A bow isnt considered a firearm so therefore as long as you have a valid hunting lisence you will be fine. If your minors lisence hasnt expired you can still hunt with a mentor as long as they have a valid turkey tag and a PAL. IF it has expired then your out of luck.

Carew, under the Fish and Wildlife Conservation Act a bow is considered a firearm but for the purposes of this discussion we are talking about the Federal firearms legislation and a bow is not considered to be a firearm under that legislation.

One option you have is to hunt right beside someone who does have a PAL. This way you can use the firearm but they have "control" of you and the gun.

Thanks for all the replies everybody. I'm thinking I'm going to see about borrowing a bow. A buddy from school mentioned borrowing his maybe so I think I will send him a message today and ask if he was being serious when he said I could.

My friend just got back to me and he said I could borrow his crossbow for turkey season! That is awesome news for me! I've just got to pick it up, do some practising, and then hit the woods!
woohoo!
