6 hour drive to a premium zone, X-1, up by Mt. Shasta, CA.....honestly, forgot my license at home. Sitting right on my desk.
Had to back track and drive 2 1/2 hours to Redding, CA to get a replacement. The CA Fish & Game had mis-spelled my last name this particular year so they couldnt find a record of my license information. I did not have the reciept or copy of my hunting cert or anything. I could not remember how they mis-spelled my name to it was quite the cluster. It wasnt reall the license part it was the Zonewe drew. My hunting buddies were at the camp and ....no cell phone service. To make a long story longer, I asked them to look up our Party Leaders name and then I should be on the application. I was in a different county than the application was filed and for some California reason, they did not have acess to my countys records. So, the nice F&G lady called the Sacramento County F&G office and.....had to leave a message cuz......that person was on lunch. Finally, it all ironed out and I was on my way back to camp. Got skunked that year.
