Default First Time Hunter Course

I read on Facebook, that there is now a crackdown on the people that simply checked the box, on their WIN application form, indicating that they previously held hunting licenses or took hunter safety courses with no proof of either. On Facebook, this has been twisted and misinterpreted so badly that some people now believe that every hunter in Alberta must now complete a First Time Hunter course. Some people are failing to understand the first statement defining a first time hunter. If you held a hunting license in Alberta or elsewhere, you are not required to complete a course. If you have held hunting licenses , and have been applying for draws every year, for 20 or 30 years, you are shown as having been in the system before the requirement came into effect, and that is proof that you are not a first time hunter. It is actually entertaining to see the mad panic that is developing on Facebook, because people are misinterpreting the requirement.
