Hunted Canada last several years except 2 COVID years. Always bring my own gun and have never had a problem. Just leave enough time between flights when you enter the country.
Do not fly through Toronto if you can avoid it at all. Go through Newark to fly to Halifax. Then to Newfoundland. US customs in Toronto is a giant pain.
Best part of Newfoundland moose is you can have all your meat shipped back to US and you pick it up. Used to be able to go to Mobile. Last time drove to Tulsa and got 300 lbs of meat.

You are going to catch hell here, but good for you.
Many of the worst fires involving fatalities were the result of locked exit doors. Once the fire occurs, it’s too late to take those things back.
In this case you did something before someone was hurt or worse.
OSHA fines are going to heavily depend on whether that particular location has been previously warned and fined in the past. They will likely not be severe if it is the first time. But if OSHA has been there before and the actions are deemed willful, they will greatly increase the fine.
The other problem may be the size of the company. Unfortunately, many large companies get fines reduced or removed that wouldn’t happen for a smaller company.

Red Fern was my favorite book ever and probably the reason I always have a hunting dog
I had a Lab that was an FC AFC. A salesman I dealt with told me that he heard that Field trial dogs could not hunt. I agreed that some do not hunt, but a vast majority can and mine really could. He said he would book a hunt to go goose hunting and for me to bring my dog.

That morning the specks were raining down on us. Then a group of snows/blues comes over, knocked one down but another glided several hundred yards away. The guide said dont worry about that one. Went back to shooting specks.

We killed the limit of specks. Guide asked if we would pick up the decoys, he was going to walk to get the snow that sailed. The wind was blowing hard right to left and told him I would send my dog. The guide laughed and said you dont have an idea about how far that is in a rice field. I laughed and sent the dog. Probably every bit of 400 yds maybe more. He crossed the levee out of sight and about 3 minutes later came back with the white goose in his mouth.
I knew he would get downwind of it by running that far. We ran way worse blinds in the trials.
Got back to lodge and ended up running about 20 blind retrieves so everyone there could watch him handle.

He died of cancer about 6 years ago but every year for duck season I tell my wife how much I miss him. I dont think I will ever again own one that good. I have had a lot of dogs and ran trials for 14 years. He was by far the best one I ever had.

Not sure when the last time you went to Canada. My nephew had a DUI and they held him up for close to 2 hours in Saskatoon. It was like they were not going to let him in at all, then they suddenly decided he could pay a fee and be allowed in Canada. Almost every outfitter I have dealt with the last few years asks now if you have a dui because of the crap
I only brought up the bino' sand stuff because the last time I came through Denver the guy was kind of an a$$ and threatened to charge me taxes on items I owned because they were not on the 4457. So I now just leave them in suitcase
Just easier that way

Just FYI, Baton Rouge customs requires that you make an appointment.
It is also kind of ridiculous that you are supposed to put any item that you carry out of the country, such as laptops, cameras etc..on the 4457 form. I usually put my binos and rangefinder in my gun case. Customs in Denver gave me a hard time and said he could charge me taxes on the items not on the 4457. Because I did not have them documented on the form, he said I could have purchased them in Canada. I just put them in my suitcase now. Not going through the trouble of bringing all that to the customs office



Don't know if this applies or if you know, but if you have a DUI on your record, prepare for a nightmare. They will ultimately have you pay a "fee" to enter after they delay you forever. I guess there may be something that you can do ahead of time to avoid the delay.

Are you eligible for the CSP? Though if you can get the ASP and military you will be in pretty good shape. ASP and CSP are preferred over most of the others. Take a good prep class for the ASP and its not really that bad. Long test but not that bad

Awesome pics
I know it varies but how often do you see this, I guess say out of a month?

I will be moose hunting for 10 days in Yukon come September and I am really hoping to see them once.

Dont forget about

Ba-la-kay :lol:

Other than stolen Swarovski's :lol:

Buy the Vortex

The vortex I have are clear and are pretty nice for the price

The only thing that the Swarovski's are better at are in low light. First thing in the morning and right at dark is where you can tell any difference between the two IMO

Only telling you what the for dealer told me

I had 2 6.0's that blew up

I have a 2014 6.7
When I purchased it the only thing I knew about was some fuel problems

If I am wrong I apologize and stand corrected
