safari hunt

[Skyline]

Well that sounds good, but Pomoxis I would not have the ammo in the same case as Josquin has to go through CANADIAN airlines on the first stint...........and I can guarantee he will end up delayed if the ammo is in the same case as the rifles, regardless of it being locked in a seperate ammo container.

The problem now is that some of the airlines have decided to have policies that go beyond what is actually required in the federal regulations and you do not know if the ticket agent you are going to deal with is pro or anti-hunter.....or for that matter if the are capable of independant thought.

Better safe than sorry. I ran into a number of hunters this past fall that missed connecting flights by the time they got things straightened out......because they had ammo in the same locked case as the firearms.

Josquin........I also forgot to say, get the Canada customs declarations to show ownership of your cameras and firearms, etc. before you go so that you can present them when you return. I am sure you already know to do that. I do it even when I go to the US.

Good advise from Pomoxis on packing. It is surprising how little clothing you actually need. I have bought clothes over there a few times as well since, coming from Canada, I found it easier to find the right kind of clothing over there and it was cheaper to boot.

You should also put together a good toiletry kit with various cold/flu remedies, allergy medications, stuff that you usually use, prescription medication if you use it, spare pair of eyeglasses if you wear them, etc. Good idea to take something for diarrhea and constipation as well......most people seem to have a bought of one or the other when they travel. Just pack all this in sizes that are appropriate for the length of your trip, plus a few extra days worth. Good sunblock and sunglasses are a necessity as well.
