New Restrictions on Entering
Canada to Hunt
|
If you’re planning a trip into
Canada to do some hunting and are planning to fly, you need to
be aware of several changes in how you can legally bring your
gun and ammunition.
Effective June 1, 2006, there will
be a one-way handling charge of $65.00(Canadian).
Rifles and shotguns are accepted
as checked baggage only. The guns must be unloaded and you will
have to sign your life away stating that they are unloaded.
What’s different now is you must provide a secure locking device
for each weapon so that it cannot be fired.
The gun has to be transported in a
special made case that you can’t see through, open, or that can
be broken into.

Ammo is only allowed through
checked baggage as well. The ammo has to be transported
seperately from the firearms and each passenger is limited to 11
pounds. The ammo has to be packed in a strong wooden, metal or
fiberboard container, clearly marked, “ammunition”. The
container has to be packed in a suitcase and surrounded by
clothing to avoid movement.
You can’t bring gunpowder of
blackpowder pellets either.
Other than that, have a great
time!
