Me neither. Never an issue.

It's weird but not all temporary export permits require a signature on return. We are about 50/50 on them but definitely get a signature from a CBSA officer on the ones that do require signature. I'm happy our last one didn't require one because our rifles never made it back on same flight as us.

Get an ATF permit 6N1A just to cover your butt. If are required to take possession, then you are covered at least for ATF regulations.

We had a great flight with them in 2022 as well... they've spiraled downhill fast since then.

There's really nothing to bill them for. They eventually got them to both destinations. I'll try to get something for rifle hire for the days from outfitter but that's it.

It used to be our favourite airline to Africa as well. It wasn't only our rifles on this trip but those of the others in our party. They had a success rate of 33% getting rifles to destination on time and they did nothing to try to expedite mine on the way there. It sat in Calgary for two days...

We’ve flown KLM for six safaris and had great service and flights were well priced. Out of Canada going through Europe is much simpler than going through US but last year they left our rifle in Amsterdam but got it to us a day later so we wrote it off to crap happens. This year out of three of...

We've shot several buffalo with a 250-grain Hornady GMX and plains game to 312 yards with same load. I'm a believer!

We’ve hunted free range Namibia twice and it was amazing but the species list is a bit limited for true free range. I’m so glad we experienced it but its one of those been there done that’s things and are just looking for new experiences now.

Yes but likely not till 2021.

We’ve done numerous plains game hunts in Africa and it was a free-range Barbary sheep hunt that first attracted us to Lalapa Safaris which we did in 2016. We really liked what we saw and felt we only got a small taste on our first hunt with them so returned this year. This was the first time we...
