Hunting License

Hi,

Had a hunting license 20+ years ago. Do I need to retake a course to get a new one? Call Silvercore on Monday ?

Thanks !

Go to or call Service BC. They should have a record of your hunter number.
 
Sure hope BC keeps better records then ONT does. I had the same problem with my gun licences but mine was years ago and they had no records of me ever having them (they found my outdoor card # from 1970 though). So I had to redo both my PALL and RPAL it was like a refresher anyways as I was in the army active call up reserves for over 6 years thus my signature at the bottom.
Remember "Safe hunters always come home to their families!"

Gun licences, RPAL and PAL are federal.

The PAL and RPAL tests absolutely in no way reflect anything you would have learned in the "army active call up reserves".....

Gun handling is gun handling. Terminology is different but a lot of the knowledge transfers over. I just retired from the army and finally got all my PAL stuff done and the biggest learning curve was translating the terminology together with the specific legalities - all other actual content was review at most.
