On the border crossings generally we have had good experiences going both ways.

One time going down for a hunt in the US I had preregistered my blackpowder firearm -- at the crossing the fellow in Montana asked why I did this when I did not have to. I said I that I knew that but I just wanted to avoid any possible complications. He said good move as Homeland Security has no clue on blackpowder vs centre fire. He then asked what I was hunting and when I said bison he brought out pictures of one he got, asked where I was going, gave suggestions -- just a great discussion. Now fast forward a week and I am coming back. Get to the Canadian side and all is good --- then the border guard says we have a note that you need to go back over to the US side. Go back over and it was the same US Customs agent wanting to see pictures and ask how the hunt went. Good experience at a very low traffic site.
