NOTES -- Odds and Ends -- |
|
1. You might want to consider travel / trip insurance to cover your
cost in the event you are not able to make your hunt. There are
various vendors that offer this insurance at reasonable cost. We
do not refund deposits or payments, you can however substitute a
hunter up to 30 days prior to your hunt date.
2. Transportation of Fire Arms --- Canada now requires all
hunters register firearms coming in for hunting. Some of our
hunters have been issued a PAL # during the 2001 season that is
valid for 5 years. If you do not have a PAL # do not worry, you can
get a temporary registration. We will provide the form and
instruction for your temporary permit that will be valid for 60
days. This will cost you $50.00 Canadian and will be due at
Canadian Customs.
Note - Guns need to be in a locked hard case - ammo should not be
packed in the same case as your gun but rather in a separate bag -
ammo should be in NEW boxes and not contain loose cartridges.
3. Most of the major car rental companies have offices at the
Edmonton International Airport .
4. A valid passport is now required to enter Canada .
If you've been convicted of a felony in the last 5 years, please
call us for advice.
5. Please be considerate of your food servers during your stay. A
tip is not mandatory but it is greatly appreciated
by the wait staff. |
