Mandatory Bowhunter Education Course

[Bluenose]

I have been researching the NBEF (National Bowhunter Education Foundation)and am told that bowhunter training is a requirement for bowhunting in Nova Scotia. I'm a former resident of N.S. and would like to return this fall to hunt in N.S. I have enrolled in this course in Ontario this week-end.  I've heard that the course is required in several States and Provinces in order to purchase a non-resident license? Can anyone is Nova Scotia give me a bit more info?
