I am interested in meeting up with people from the lower mainland to take advantage of the new regulations regarding schedule C animal hunting (no licence required!). I have never really hunted before but I have been working on getting my CORE and would like to go on a hunt sometime soon. I do have a valid PAL and a decent selection of non restricted firearms. Please feel free to PM me or post on here. Thanks! Liam
 
Schedule "C" animals can be captured or
killed anywhere and at any time in BC.
Schedule “C” birds may be hunted using electronic
calls. You do not need a hunting licence
to hunt or kill the following
Schedule “C” wildlife:
(a) Rana catesbeiana - American bullfrog
(b) all species of the family Chelydridae -
snapping turtles
(c) Didelphis virginiana - North American
opossum
(d) Sylvilagus floridanus - eastern cottontail
(e) Oryctolagus cuniculus - European rabbit
(f) Myocastor coypus - nutria
(g) all species of the genus Sciurus - grey
squirrels and fox squirrels
(h) Passer domesticus - house sparrow
(i) Sturnus vulgaris - European starling
(j) Columbia livia - rock dove (domestic
pigeon)
You do need a hunting licence to hunt the
following Schedule “C” wildlife UNLESS you
are hunting them on your property or they
are damaging your property:
(a) all species of the genus Corvus - crows,
except Corvus corax - common raven
(b) Pica pica - black-billed magpie
(c) Molothrus ater - brown-headed
cowbird and the eggs of this bird
species may be destroyed.
 
Those rules regarding Schedule C animals have not changed in a few years.

If you really want to get out hunting, and already have firearms and a license, why not hurry up and get the CORE completed so you can hunt other things besides pests?

If you can pass the CFSC/CRFSC tests, the CORE test should not be hard for you to challenge with a quick read through the book.

I'm working on the CORE. I just think it would be a good way to get some exposure to hunting and soon. Any ideas where I could find either of those 2 above mentioned species of rabbits in the lower mainland?

And +1 on getting the CORE. I have the book if you want it.

I have the book. I really don't like the way it is laid out. When you get to the little test/review part it has questions that are not covered in the section you just read! Could someone post a link to an example of a CORE test? Anyone else interested in some schedule C animal practice?
