License needed?

Hi Guys, I am still fairly new to this forum, so forgive me if I have asked a question that has been answered int he past. I tried searching for the answer on the forum, but had no luck. I am taking my son (8) out on the weekend to crown land to shoot. We are more or less target shooting, but if a rabbit or something appears we would like to shoot it as well, and I will show him how to skin it and stuff. Other potential targets, magpies, porcupines, badger etc.

What licenses' do I need for this? I have my firearms license, and my WIN card. Do i need to have anything else? for these critters?

For instance, do I need that Hunters Education Certificate?

No, you don't need any sort of hunting license for many species. Some are protected though, so make sure that you are familiar with the hunting regs. Legally I think all you need is your PAL and registration certificate, you don't need your WIN or a Wildlife Certificate any more.

Here's a link:
