Initiation license?

[Bear Brawler]

What does this mean? They buy an initiation license and what does that mean? Can they just buy a tag and go hunt whatever they want with a hunting buddy? Do they not need to do the CORE?

Good way to 'one time only introduce someone to hunting. Basically the same as a taking a underage kid hunting. Under immediate supervision, your bag limits/tags are for them.

I heard that the hunter supervisor has to have the license (or experience i guess) for 3 seasons too. That true?

Yes, same as for youth.
