Hey ya'll. I'm thinking of getting into bow hunting and I'm wondering if anyone of you know if I will need a PAL to get a hunting licence or to buy a bow?
Or is the PAL strictly for purchasing fire arms?

PAL is strictly firearms.
Take the CORE course. Get your hunter number. Buy your license. Buy tags. Grab bow and go.
What ^^^ said.
To my knowledge, if you have a PAL, you do not need to take the practical firearms safety portion of the CORE exam. That's all. You can take that exam as part of your CORE and get the hunter number without a PAL
Just a little addition.Quote:

This is right. I completed my CORE today and what you said is true.Quote:
