Effective January 2010: To obtain a British Columbia hunter number applicants must pass a reading and writing course (R.A.W) with a minimum score of 85 percent. The R.A.W was designed to prepare all new hunters for The Conservation and Outdoor Recreation Education (CORE) Program There is no cost however applicants must purchase a R.A.W textbook for $35.00 and can be obtained at your local BC access center or sporting goods retailer. upon completion of the reading and writing course (R.A.W) you will be issued a R.A.W certificate that must be produced to your C.O.R.E instructor for verification.

well whats wrong with that? if you cant read or write how can you read the regs or fill out and cut tags correctly?
although on the other hand how can one pass the core test without basic reading and writing skills?

[pete_k]

Sounds good. They should implement this RAW for tech support call operators.

[NoLimit99]

just another money grab

That ones already been played.

Not that I think it would necessarily be a bad idea but a reading comprehension course would be more applicable for most people.

[lineofsight]

Sounds like the CORE is a poorly designed testing instrument if it can be passed without reading and writing skills but then this is a hoax.

HOAX.................

[Bow Walker]

Hoax or not - the R.A.W. course/test should be given to ALL students at the Jr. High and above level. Prior to each new school year.

jmho.

Actually, it is not required to take the CORE course, it's required to join HBC as of today. Existing members will be tested at random when trying to log in.

Just my $0.02 on this thread.

While a giggle and joke is always fun, threads like this make newbs like me confused until we read a bit further down and see it's a hoax. This is the second time i've seen this RAW joke come up, which at first to me seemed believeable.

It creates confusion and misinformation with people who come to these websites seeking basic information and really does a disservice to us newbies.

You read down further saw it was a hoax and still came away disturbed?

Better get used to such jokes if you wish to peruse these boards.

It's so the "I don't speak english" or "thought it was for deer not elk" etc. can't be played as a deffence when charged with poaching.
Isn't it?

[BOOTS!]

No, I was disturbed when I watched "shake that bear." What I said was posts like this create confusion and are a disservice to newbs.

What I'm getting at is that most people don't read the whole thread, mostly because it's usually one monkey throwing the feces and the rest howling about it. So some, who are thinking about joining the sport might come to these sorts of forums and read through things. When first they read about CORE and how is seems to be a bit of a PITA for many, then they read a hoax post about this RAW joke, they might just not get involved in the sport.

I would think that stewards of the sport would agree that more people out hunting is a good thing. Posts like this might turn people off from the concept and never get involved.

So this is the second time in my short time on this board that I've seen this joke. The more people tell it, the more it starts to become common knowledge and accepted as fact. It really doesn't help anyone.

[sawmill]

So,how about those grouse tags!:-D

I always wondered what that smell was.
Seems you got the howling part down pat. Welcome aboard you will fit right in.

You make a good point, I tend to agree at least to some extent. Don't get too excited about it though, it's just someone's idea of a funny. And thanks for the new signature line btw!
