Travel documents
You must have proof of citizenship, either a U.S. passport or a original notarized copy of your birth certificate, with you while you’re in Canada. You will also require a Canadian hunting license. Hunters for 2007 should carry a passport.
Canadian customs and firearms registration: please read: "bringing a firearm into Canada" letter from us or call the Canadian firearms center at 1-800-731-4000 or visit www.cfc-ccaf.gc.ca for information and form 909. Please fill out form in triplicate but do not sign until you are with a Canadian customs agent. Handguns are not allowed in Canada.
Other recommendations
- Hunters with special needs or disabilities please let us know about it before you get into camp so we can make the necessary arrangements. (e.g. special diet, mobility restrictions, etc..)
- We recommend that you bring a low-power riflescope (that has a low power setting somewhere between 1 and 4 as most shots are very close).
