    Re: Initiation hunter question

    Thanks great advice, I am going to do that and when I do get a response I will definitely post it here.

    This really is a question for the Ministry though... If in your position I would write in to Victoria via email and ask away, then post up with the response right here on HBC!

    Cheers Campking, looking forward to reading their response.
    Confident in my message though ~no application/entries under LEH but may Harvest anything their mentor can cover license wise.

    The supervising hunter must hold the appropriate uncancelled species licence for any species that is hunted. Any game harvested by the holder of an initiation licence must be accounted for as part of the bag limit of the supervising hunter.
    The holder of an initiation hunting licence isn't eligible to participate in limited entry hunting.

    Cut and Paste right off Gov website


    I don't think there is any doubt, it's pretty clear from the post above

    No problem campking...
    Youth are able to partake in an LEH hunt, Initiation hunters are not.

    Re: Initiation hunter question

    The Initiation Hunter has no bag limit at all. Their bag limit is that of their mentor BCRH, shared bag limit. Youths* may apply for LEH authorizations of their own, IHL hunters may not.

    Reminder ~Synopsis/gov't websites are not Law. The law is on record/accessible to all if you wish to look. I'm sure Ministry Staff and/or CO will issue their reply as per their enforcement policy prior to the start of season... If we even get a season until after current regime is booted out of office/Victoria.

    Youth may not apply for LEH. Need FWID to apply.

    Sure. I was not clear and was referring to how it is possible for a "youth" to be a full blown BCRH license holder. It does read like I was saying the Youth Hunting License by itself enables LEH applications. I have the adult/normal deal license wise as a BC Resident Hunter. I have thus far barely ever applied for any LEH and have not won/recieved an LEH authorization for anything. I also have not applied for any of these mentor things nor Permit to Accompany. I am familiar with Law on the matter and stand by my statements that I meant, that is to say IHL and their mentoring BCRH share one bag/set of licenses/authorizations. Mea culpa on the youth thing, I obviously was not clear in that post. I'll edit it, to avoid confusion.
