Students must be a minimum of 12 years of age to legally purchase a hunting licence.

Hunter Orange Requirement

When hunting big game with a rifle, hunting in a designated rifle-only season or accompanying a rifle hunter, an outer suit from the waist up of scarlet, bright yellow, blaze orange or white or any combination of these colours must be worn. Coloured vests are not considered a complete outer suit from the waist up, and therefore are not acceptable.
