BC Regs Question Regarding A Minors Firearms Permit

[fowlweather]

so, my minors pol has finally been issued and should be printed out really soon (im so stoked!) but i have a question regarding the ability for a minor to hunt big game without supervision (deer and maybe a black bear only). i know the licence permits me to carry firearms wherever my heart desires and to hunt small game without supervision, but is a minor allowed to hunt the big game specified above without supervision? i heard from some friends that i am not allowed to, but i havent been able to find it in the regs... any help? should i call the CO? and if you know and its in the regs can you please give me a page#? thanks!!

You can't hunt unsupervised under the age of 18. Section 17 (3) of the Wildlife Act and summarized on Page 7 Point 2 (carries onto Page 8 ) of the regs under licence requirements. Sorry...



"Hunters under the age of 18 must
be accompanied and closely supervised
while hunting by a person who is 18 years
of age or older and who holds a hunting
licence."
