My next trip to Canada...

I'm going to have to stock up on a bunch of these:

And yes, I did eat several of these (and similar) while on my hunt...

They should send you a case or two!

I think they should too, but something about having to declare meat when it crosses the border makes it a little more complicated than that. I'll be driving through pretty soon-hoping I can find some at an outdoor store.

Very cool and well deserved

That is very cool Mozey. Maybe you can use them when you follow up your CDT venture with the Appalachian Trail. Come back 20lbs more than when you started.

Getting pretty close now. Paul and Vince have some amazing skills.

Will you report back about your process of traveling to Canada with a firearm and meat as I will possibly be driving doing the same process in a couple years and curious about what paperwork I will need to bring and provide to enter the country with a firearm and hopefully leave the country and enter the US with meat.

Wish I could tell you about the meat, but I pretty much got fogged out on my hunt, so I can only speak to firearms and fish. For the fish, no one at either border even raised an eyebrow.

For the firearms, it was tougher getting into Canada this time than my two previous times due to what I would say was probably the inexperience of the person checking me, who was obviously a novice about guns. But otherwise, no sweat going from Canada to Alaska, and then back into Canada from Alaska, and then finally back to the lower 48. If you'd like more details, I'll pm them to you.

What I would caution is if you prefill the Canadian firearms forms, make sure your print mode is shrink to fit, or else put a legal size paper in your printer so it doesn't cut off any part of the forms. I think this must be a common problem...

I would greatly appreciate any and all details for traveling into BC and then back to the lower 48 since I’m thinking I am going to drive instead of fly here in the coming years.
