I went last year. There are forms that you can fill out with US Customs and with Canada's Border Patrol to expedite the process. That said, they still checked my guns going into Canada, and I still had to wait in line in Denver coming back into the States.

The outfitter we used had Brownings, Benellis and Berettas for rent. Next time, I'll go that route.

Just flew up there for a bear hunt at the end of June with 2 rifles. I found it to be a major pain and pretty expensive as well.

Wasn't a problem in 1999. Took bolt out, locked up, had form in case. Opened it, showed it, done. Ammo was kept separately. I think this was on Northwest Airlines?
Same coming back. I had more issues with rattling horns that I made up there,, lots and lots of questions, couple of times thru the X-ray machine. Then I pointed out that they didn't even match each other.

Took caped rack to local taxidermist in Saskatoon, he mounted and shipped to me, no problems, at all.

Late to the party but dam do I hate Canadian customs and firearms. Like others have mentioned, don't even think about bringing a handgun.

What did the airlines say when you were in the process of taking this trip and getting it lined up?
