Hello I have done my CORE and I'm also practicing in the use of a bow, and rifle. The problem with CORE is that most of it was written test and learning from what the instructor told me.I feel that the very short one day class "CORE" didn't prepare me for most of the practical stuff to do with hunting. Like the instructor didn't actually bring us to hunt a bear or even show us hands on field dressing an animal. It was mostly just the instructor pointing at a book for less than 15 minutes(somehow we're suppose to know how to field dress an animal). The instructor does not even tell us what is the proper tool for field dressing the animal. Also nothing about what to do with the animal after taking the harvested parts was mentioned or maybe I forgot.
I'm not going to point out which was the CORE instructor, I'm not here to make anyone's life miserable.
I notice that looking at here on the forum of the sticky threads there are no recent workshop or hunting camp for new hunters available.
Right now what I'm thinking of doing is signing up for something like this, and in hope the guide will teach me everything I could learn about hunting
I'm going to take a flight over to East Coast just to do this because hiring a guide/outfitter here in the West Coast is very expensive.
I'm from Vancouver
