Please Note:

If you are thinking of bringing a handgun across, you might want to rethink that as handguns are not permitted to be taken into the country unless possibly for specific competitions. A few
Americans run into problems with this every year and this is one of the first questions asked by Canada Customs of U.S. citizens, especially if you are thinking of going hunting up here.

Good luck and I hope you get your moose. I am a B.C. resident and just put in for a limited entry draw the other day for my moose.
