Welcome to Canada. Getting guns across the border is no big deal for us Canucks going down to the US either. Just have your paperwork filled out properly and your good to go. Both countries have great hunting opportunities. I kind of like Oklahoma and Nebraska as somewhat sleeper US deer hunting states. I think it is easier to get tags in the US than it is in Canada. Your system of PP's is the best method by far! A US resident can't go hunt in BC, Alta and very limited area in Sask. Not fair.
