Geez, the synopsis is not that well organized....it figures from a provincial publication. I was reading the wrong section under the Licencing Requirements!!! I got hung up on Section 3) Initiation Hunting Licence (which does not apply to my son but there is a youth component to that section). So, under Section 2) Youth Hunting Licence, the regulations state:

"Youth Hunting Licence can only be issued to a parent or guardian on behalf of his/her child or ward who is 10 years of age or older and under the age of 18. Hunter safety training is not required to obtain a Youth Hunting Licence. The parent or guardian will be required to get a FWID.

So, no CORE, no problem. Blast away, my son, blast away.
