Home Forums Hunting & Shooting Canada Planning a hunt in Canada

Dre,

I'm not 100% on this so I'll appreciate input/correction but if your buddy isn't an outfitter, you'll need to go the "host-a-hunter" route, ie, he will have to sponsor you. And he'll need to initiate that paperwork.

As well, you'll likely need an additional sponsor for your buddy. (Don't think Albertan's can host more than one person)

Getting a rifle across the border is easy. You declare your firearms in writing with a CAFC 909 Non-Resident Firearm Declaration and pay the $25 fee.

On the tag thing, I think it depends what/where you're hunting.
When I hunted with my friend Jordan in AB two years ago, the whitetail tag was OTC.

Hope that helps or at the very least starts a discussion.
