Free: Contests & Raffles.
While at the SCI convention, in Reno, a few years back, the wife saw an outfitter, from the artic, which had a life size Muskox on display. She turned to me and said we should have one of these in the trophy room. I replied sure and we continued to enjoy the show with nothing more said about the Muskox.Every year we attend the convention, we talk about a Muskox hunt with no plans being made. Well this year was different, we saw the outfitter and after talking to him for awhile, decided this was the year to book the hunt.Hunt will take place during the end of August to first week of September. Will travel from Seattle to Edmonton Alberta and overnite. Next morning travel from Edmonton to Yellowknife Northwest Territories, onto Kugluktuk Nunavut, and then to Cambridge Bay Nunavut where the outfitter will meet the hunters. After getting licenses and tags, will continue by float plane to the lodge. Will hunt three days and make the return trip. Ten flights in all. Glad I don't mind flying.Plans have been made, hunt paid, air fare from Edmonton to Cambridge Bay and back paid and booked (outfitter gets a break on this air fare and handles that part of the trip). Air fare from Seattle to Edmonton and return booked. Hotel rooms, in Edmonton booked.Need to get Canadian gun importation forms in and completed, and take my gun to the US Customs and get a "Certificate of Registration For Personal Effects Taken Abroad".Sent my rifle scope to Leupold ad they installed CDS adjustment with BDC dial. Need to get to the range and set the zero.Am looking forward to the new adventure, hunting in a different landscape for an awesome animal.

I think on your gun declaration for Canadian Customs, you can claim all your guns on one form and pay one fee. They may have changed that. Maybe ask them if you weren't aware of it. I was told this by the Canadian Customs up here a couple years ago.

I was told this by the Canadian Customs up here a couple years ago. I think that's for up to 3 firearms.
