[CanAm500]

Thanks to Blacktail for letting me and my dad write the CORE exam this satuday. Now I have to go and re-read the book for the 3rd time :p .

Anyways, Just want to say thanks to Blacktail for letting us write the exam and we will see you saturday morning.

[Foxer]

Always nice to see how accomodating our volunteers are in the community. Lots of guys put in countless hours teaching and working and doing the tests so that new people can get out to hunt.

Round of applause for blacktail and his fellow core examiners :)

[CanAm500]

*Clap, Clap, Clap*

Im really excitted about taking the exam, I hope I pass :)

[Johnnybear]

read the book , and use your common sense you will do fine.good luck.

[johnes50]

Good luck with the exam. If you read the book that many times I'm sure you'll do fine. My son took the CORE course from Blacktail this past weekend and with Roy's expert guidance managed to pass the exam.

[huntwriter]

Good luck with the exams. I had to make a CORE test too when I moved to BC, despite hunting all my life!!! It's easy and mostly common sense.

[Blacktail]

Study and suck it up buddy!!;)

see you saturday morning:twisted: :lol:

[rollingrock]

you need to put in some hours before the exam if you're challenging. it's easy, but still you have to study. I passed the exam at 96% mark some years ago, but I had read the manual for 3 weeks.

goo luck!

[CanAm500]

Study and suck it up buddy!!;)

see you saturday morning:twisted: :lol:

Lol, im not complainning:grin:



Thanks all

[CanAm500]

Im counting down the hours now.

Well gonna go have a shower and read the book again untill I fall asleep. I also picked up the hunting and trapping synophsis just for the read, who knows it may or may not help.

[bsa30-06]

use some common sense and you'll do fine.Good luck and let us now how you did.

[Blacktail]

well the day came and went and so did the ypung lad and his dad

Both passed the exam with a fairly decent mark amd after that we had a good discussion about guns and range talk and stuff8-)

Congrats to both we know have two more hunters in the mix:tongue:

[ruger#1]

way to go there ic, now you can have fun hunting.

[Ozone]

Congrats to both we know have two more hunters in the mix:tongue:

Way to go guys. Whats first, you can go wolf hunting right now or wait some and go after bear. My vote is for wolves.

[ruger#1]

oz its beter if they wait until the end of march, they have to get a new licence then. i mean if they bought a licence now, they would have to buy another one at the end of march.

[Ozone]

Or they could buy one today, get 3 wolves buy March 31 then buy new licences and get 3 more.

[ruger#1]

you are so right on that one there oz

Congratulations to the two of them. Now all that stands in the way is a hunting licence.:grin:

[CanAm500]

Yes thanks all. A good round of applause goes out to Blacktail for letting us come down and use some of his time up to write this exam. We just got in from a full days worth of shopping (brother got a new hunting knife, mine is still beter, lol)

What we are going to do is problably wait untill bear season start because we have some friends up here at the lake that will take us bear hunting. I dont know about wolves up here at the lake, problably hard to find.

Anyway, thanks again for all you guys's support and Blacktail for letting us write the exam.

[bsa30-06]

It sure is nice to see young kids and adults get their licences and come out huntin, makes it all that much more fun!

[cowboy-up69]

[CanAm500]

Oh and good job IC, betcha cant wait to get out and bag a big buck eh ;)

Yeah, dad says he will get the skull and antlers mounted for my first buck, or if I get a bear he will get the skull done :-) :grin:

[cowboy-up69]

Thats awesome! I wish my dad did that for me when I got my first buck :(:( haha, Thats awesome though! Good luck this season man!

[ruger#1]

all i can say there ic, you have a very good father, there isnt much father son hunting,or just father son things going on any more for me unless i drive 400 kms to see him, and when i do we have a good time.

[30-06]

oh ya cliff id go wit ya after a nice blackie
haha

[CanAm500]

Yeah, I do really appreciate all the time I can actually do something with him. He's either working, working on university or busy doing something that doesnt really involve me. So hunting and shooting (plus the paintball) we get some time.

I just talked to my neighbour and he's willing to take us out and get a blackie in april for a flat or beer, lol. So if I am going to go bear hunting, I will do some scouting in April then if I see what I like I will get a tag, and hoepfully get a nice sized bear.

[cowboy-up69]

Well thats a good deal, flat a beer for takin ya out huntin lol, cant beat that. Well hopefully you find something big and shoot 'er. Same with me, I got plans with a couple guy son here to go on my first spring bear hunt, hopefully if all works out, I'll get myself a bear! PRetty stoked, and with my new bow thats gunna be here soon too! Cant wait!

[CanAm500]

Yeah, if we do decide to go we are going to bring the camra and the camcorder out. I will defenatly put the pictures up.

[CanAm500]

Well, I got my CORE certificate in the mail on friday...now all we have to do is go to the Govt. Agents office next weekend.

Anyone know when you can buy 2006/2007 hunting licences?

[Ozone]

Right now.

[FlyingHigh]

taking my CORE tomorrow, course and exam i believe. I'll let you know how it turns out.

Best of luck to you and stay calm.

[FlyingHigh]

weeeeeee, scored 74/75. i'm all set to go.

[huntwriter]

weeeeeee, scored 74/75. i'm all set to go.

That's a good score and all you need. A few trick questions you stumbled over, I guess.

Congratulations and welcome to the hunter fold, may you have many successful and enjoyable hunts.

[reach]

Excellent work. You beat me - I only got 73. :)

I was pleasantly surprised at how quickly the BCWF and then the Fish & Wildlife Branch responded with the course certificate & hunter number card respectively. I did both by mail and the total turnaround for both was about 2 weeks.

Can't believe the only Government Agent office in the Lower Mainland is over in Maple Ridge... you'd think they'd have a few here and there. But no.

[Fred]

There is one in Chilliwack too. Fred

[FlyingHigh]

thanks guys. the one i got wrong was something about baiting bears and what it does to hunting. i think i misread the question or it was worded weird. whatever. now i can't wait to get out and test my bow in the fied. i've only been doing target shooting so far.

[CanAm500]

Good job, FlyingHigh. Dad and me and are going to the govt. agents office in Duncan tomorrow and getting our cards.

If were to buy a licence right now, would it be good for this sept. deer season?

[Blacktail]

yup

reads the regs !!

Forgotten stuff already !!;-) ;-)

[CanAm500]

No, just dont want to go out and buy a licence then have to go back and buy another one. :mrgreen:


yup

reads the regs !!

Forgotten stuff already !!;-) ;-)
