Today I am thrilled to announce that I have successful obtained The Conservation and Outdoor Recreation Education Program (CORE). The Core is the British Columbia’s hunters education! This is my first step in becoming a Huntress. I was happy to see two other women in the course mixed amongst the 20 or so men.
My instructor was from Silvercore Advanced Training Systems based out of Delta, BC and he was informative and an experienced hunter. After I received my completed CORE registration form I immediately drove out to the British Columbia Wildlife Federation (BCWF) to sign up as a member!
I was greeted by a female office team greeting me as I walked through the door and they made the process easy. I became a member with the BCWF and received my Fish and Wild life ID (FWID) number. This number allows me to purchase a hunting licence and species tags. In my take home package I received a hunting and trapping regulations synopsis (otherwise known as the hunters bible). A full year subscription to BC Outdoors with one magazine arriving every two months at my door step, and a cool new sleek BCWF bumper sticker.

The BCWF sent me away with a list of Government Agents who sell BC hunting licences and tags so off I went straight to Front Counter BC and purchased my white tail and mule deer tags! This Huntress is now ready to find that Buck!
