Congrats! Think when I did my PAL did something like 90+ % On the written.
https://bcwf.bc.ca/core/ we used to get a hunting license number. I think it's part of the dl now. And we have to prove residency every so many years. 3 sounds familiar. Didn't buy tags last year

The hunter number has morphed into the FWID, no relation to your DL.
Congratulations to the OP!
I remember back in the day(close to 50 years ago) in Manitoba getting my hunter safety certificate. I think it was a day long course. I don't recall it being particularly difficult. I recall particular emphasis on how not to shoot your hunting buddies and how to cross a fence with a loaded firearm safely, lol. I was 14 and just needed the certificate and my parent's permission for FAC to buy my first gun a 22 semi auto from SIR in Winnipeg. I still have that rifle and fond memories of hunting rabbits with my childhood friend on his parent's farm. We are now old farts his parents and family farm long gone. I still use that very same certificate to renew my hunting licenses annually and now I invite my buddy to my farm to hunt big game. I still take the occasional rabbit mostly for a nostalgic stew
Was in Austria recently and chatting with a new in law. Apparently they take their hunter courses uber seriously. In order to be eligible for a hunting license he had spent several weeks in class studying a fairly intensive curriculum that other than firearm safety included hunting culture/history, hunting/game and forestry conservation, biology, physiology of game species, hunting dog training. The final exam runs over a couple of days and include didactic and return demonstrations. Apparently the process is pricey and hard to pass. Oddly, I could simply get a foreigner's hunting license there with my old defunct Manitoba hunter safety certificate, too funny.

I took a Hunters Safety course at 15 to get my first license. Otherwise you had to wait till you were 16. I think it was four evenings and a Saturday practical. It was put on by our high school principal and another teacher who were probably some of the first instructors in Ontario in the early 60's. It was a gun/hunting safety course.
