New hunters can now take online courses to qualify in Nova Scotia
HALIFAX - The Nova Scotia government is making an education course for new hunters available online. The interactive course is available for people aged 14 and over and helps new hunters learn safe hunting practices.
People had to previously take the course in a classroom setting, which is still available for those who prefer to take classes. The province says a new hunter who takes the online course must still write the final exam in person at a government office. It costs $25 to take the online course, which goes to the company that has been contracted by the Department of Natural Resources to provide the program. Classroom courses are still required for 12- and 13-year-olds.
