I thought about using snapcaps but from what I've read that's too easy to remove quickly and reload. at least with a dowel you have to disassemble the mag tube...

Bought this pipe plug, I'm going to switch the wing nut to a reg nut and see if it will expand to lock in the middle of the cylinder

I know this is 5 months old, but maybe your dad would like this.
I found this book when I was looking for more info about blacktail hunting. It’s OK, probably not worth $40 but worth looking up in your library. It’s a series of stories about the author’s blacktail hunting adventures https://www.amazon.ca/Blacktail-Deer-Hunting-Adventures-Refreshingly/dp/0964132044
Also recommend Patrick F McManus, he’s an outdoors humor writer. Used to write articles in field and stream etc.
Join the Alberta BHA Facebook, they have webinars/presentations available for just these questions. I think there’s a pack dump webinar happening this week, if I remember right, as well as a hunting draw and e-scouting one.
The MeatEater books and videos are great resources, especially if you’re packing out the game in a backpack, and want to bone out, combined with the gutless method, because dragging deer, without a sled, sucks.

I'm also in BC (Interior) and a late onset hunter. I didn't get my liscence til I was 21. My first year or two were rough. I found that book helped me out a lot. Also try and find a mentor, Check out Hunting BC Forum. There's alot of cool people and resources there which are BC specific.
But yes get your CORE, can't do anything without that. I did mine online and found someone local to me to take my test. I don't reccomend that way cause the online didn't cover alot of the test and I nearly failed it honestly (Pay Attention to your bird species!)
Also do you have a PAL? There is a few schools out there that offer PAL and CORE in weekend courses. I would look around at local Fish and Game clubs. Of course you don't need a PAL to hunt but I wish you the best of look if you wanna try Bow only. It's not easy and arguably less ethical.

This thing! So nice to be able to hang the bow while sitting in a stand.
I picked one up specific to AR at fishing world for my WS-MCR because the red dot lines up with the pistol grip making it about 12" wide there.

I use a Grohmann Original and a Buck PakLite guthook.
