But I can't register for the Seniors' scheme until I know for sure so right now I'm likely paying more than I should be. Fortunately I can afford it....
Just thought I'd come back on this.
So I got my Seniors drug coverage sorted and when confirmation came through they had backdated cancellation of the previous scheme from April. I was surprised at that because I just thought they would do it from the next available date.

Today I got a cheque (yes, a cheque) as refund for the monthly premiums. :thumbup:

Here in the province of NannyStan, the government is typically not generous towards seniors. I was surprised however, to find that for the over 65s, hunting licenses for small game, deer and bear are free, whereas, for example, there is only a $2 reduction per night for seniors camping at provincial parks. I have invested in a Sako 30-06 rifle and Mossberg pump action shotgun in order to take advantage of this and hopefully put some meat on the table and a bit more spice in my life.

What animal are you planning on taking out with the shotgun?
