Initiation Licence
The initiation hunting licence is a mentoring licence that allows a person, 18 years of age or older, who has never previously held a hunting licence in British Columbia, to try hunting for a one-year period.
The requirements to complete Conservation & Outdoor Recreation Education and to hold a FWIDare waived for this one-time-only licence.
The initiation hunting licence can be purchased at any Service BC office or local vendor. The licence costs $19.00 ($15.00 licence fee plus $4.00 Habitat Conservation Trust Foundation surcharge).
To be eligible for the initiation hunting licence, a person:
- Must be a B.C. resident
- Must be 18 years or older
- Must not have held a B.C. hunting licence in the past, with the exception of a youth hunting licence
- Must be under the close personal supervision of a licensed adult who satisfies the qualifications to be a supervising hunter
Supervising Hunter for an Initiation Hunter
A person who holds an initiation hunting licence must be accompanied by, and under the close personal supervision of, a supervising hunter who is 18 years of age or older and meets the prescribed qualifications. It is an offence for an initiation hunter to hunt without a supervising hunter.
The prescribed qualifications to be a supervising hunter are:
- The person must be a resident of B.C. and hold a resident hunting licence other than an initiation hunting licence (or be exempted from holding a licence)
- The person must have held a hunting licence in B.C. (other than an initiation hunting licence) or a licence to hunt elsewhere in not fewer than three of any of the licence years preceding the current licence year (or be exempted from holding a licence)
- If the person is an Indian residing in B.C., paragraphs (a) and (b) do not apply and the person must have received training in hunting and previously hunted lawfully without supervision
- The person must not be prohibited from carrying a firearm
If the holder of an initiation hunting licence is hunting with a licensed guide, item (b) of the prescribed qualifications does not apply to the supervising hunter.
The supervising hunter may accompany no more than:
- Two initiation hunting licence holders at one time
- One youth and one initiation licence holder at one time
