just like the tittle, they have singes that say "we sell hunting and fishing licenses" but as far as i know, you have to take a course for hunting. so whats the deal? is that just for a certain type of game or something?

sorry for a dumb question. i know i could just go to one and ask but i haven't got the time this week.

thanks, nate
 
Spank, he is from the same province and as you!,lol. But from Windsor, so I bet just range time for this fellow! Wait until he finds out all the hoops and loops you have to jump threw in that prov to go hunting! That's the only time I feel sorry for anyone from Ont! Your regs and extra add on's by local municipalities and such!
 
x3 on dumb question

I'll admit I used to think like that too, but that was well before I started hunting or was into firearms.

I guess at the end of the day is the only dumb question is the one that isn't asked.

or on the other hand

Better to remain silent and be thought a fool than to speak out and remove all doubt.

Ya, you're right. Gatehouse answered the question and the rest of the posts were for our benefit, not nate18. Sorry nate18, some days it's just too tempting to be a smartass than to actually help. :redface:

Tebeef, yes indeed they do sell hunting licenses, as well as species tags .. but you need a hunters number to buy a hunting license, then you can buy your species tags. If you enter and win an LEH, then you'll require a tag for that species as well, if you don't already have one.

So to recap ....

In BC, hunters education is done through C.O.R.E. (Conservation Outdoor Recreation Education). Completion of this course or successfully challenging the test will give you the certificate needed to apply for your Hunters Number. Your Hunters Number is for life, it never changes, you only ever get one number. If it's lost, you apply for a replacement, you do not apply for a "new" number. If you have an equivalent hunters certificate from another Province, it will suffice but you need to contact a Gov. agency to get a Hunters Number for the Province you're hunting in (assuming you are now a resident in this Province and not just visiting to hunt). If you are just visiting to hunt, there are too many things to discuss here that need to be done so PM me for that info if you want/need it.

Once you have your Hunters Number you can buy a hunting license which as you noted .. are available at many retail stores. The Hunting License expires every year, just like a fishing license. If you're going to hunt big game animals, you'll need to purchase the appropriate "game tag" and it too expires every year.

There ya go. Hopefully I have redeemed myself ... Man, being a smartass is soooo much easier and a lot less typing.

Holy feather plucking, I didn't bash the guy, just said he might have only range time! And might be branching out and asked something, that a mentor could have helped him, but you can tell he is on his own, my only shot was at the ont's regs, not the poster
