What certifications are needed to hunt with crossbows and is the existing bow hunting education course offered in NS sufficient?
Individuals must have successfully completed the Bow Education Course, and be Hunter Trained or Hunter Grandfathered to be qualified to hunt with a crossbow during the 2008 General Open Deer Season. The approved certification will be printed on your Wildlife Resources Card, as a B certification plus a HT or HQ certification. Otherwise, you must provide proof of having completed a crossbow training course elsewhere or provide proof of having hunted with a crossbow from another jurisdiction.
