NOTES  --  Odds and Ends --  

1.  We strongly suggest that you not fly Air Canada if you have other options.  They no longer accept antlers as baggage.   You would have to arrange airfreight for return of your trophy should you fly home with Air Canada.  

2.  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.

3.  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.

4.  All of your transportation is provided for during your hunt – provided that you remain on our standard arrival and departure schedule for your hunt.  If for some reason you must deviate from the standard, we suggest you rent a car.  Most of the major car rental companies have offices at the Edmonton International Airport.

5.  
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.   

6.  Please be considerate of your food servers during your stay.  A tip is not mandatory but it is greatly appreciated
by the wait staff.
