Canada Fly Fishing Trips
taking guns into Canada?
Six of us are going to Canada in mid September for a 4 day fly-in fishing trip. Our outfitter has told us that we are very likely to see quite a few moose on our trip. My question is this…as a precautionary measure I would like to a take a my brush rifle along just in case we do encounter an animal with ideas of his own where our well being is concerned. What exactly do I have to do to bring my rifle along? We will be driving in from the US. I found a pice of info saying that I have to declare my gun at my first point of entry, fill out a non-resident form and pay $50.00 dollars? IS this true, is it really that simple, am I likely to be hassled about bringing a gun and, maybe first of all, am I allowed to period?
Yes you can. I took a rifle & a shotgun on a combo hunt a few years ago.You must fill out the form needed. You can get them on line. Then you must stop at point of entry & an officer will check your gun after you pay your money. They will give you a peice of paper to show you did this then your good to go! But i would say if you use that gun & have no hunting licence & or permits & or out of season . YOU MAY BE IN A REAL HARD SPOT!
