I’ve completed my course and got my number. Am I now a “legal” hunter? Is all I have to do now is buy tags for animals I want to hunt like deer?
 
First you need to buy a hunting license, they expire annually at the end of March. Once you've got a license you can buy tags for the big game you want to pursue. Small game only requires the hunting license.

An FWID let's you buy a license, it is not the license.
 
welcome to the club ;)
Go to the BC government website
log onto WILD with your username and password
You can then purchase a resident hunting license and tags online.
or
you can visit a BC Access center/Government Agent office and purchase the same over the counter.
Some retailers also sell licenses and tags over the counter
 
I am curious..... don't they teach people how to use the WILD system in the BC CORE course?
Back when I took my CORE , the instructor only took two students at a time. Looking back I realize that my experience and knowledge gained by that instructor was very different than other people I've talked to. He did a very thorough job and really felt prepared when I started hunting because of his instruction. They really should be educating knew graduates on the licensing process.... seems odd if they arent
 
They didn’t when they wife and I took the core course, we had to figure out how to get our hunter number etc on our own. Pre fwid #, still had the paper booklet for species tags lol.
