Gifting to Professional Hunter

[Sunnyarcher88]

I am an avid archer, I have had a lot of products in my hands. That said I want to gift my PH some things to update his equipment on the farm. I have recently started shopping for the farm. Can anyone advise if I need to apply for any permits specifically itar, itac. For things like an sig 1500 rangefinder, scope (I broke his 3x12x44) on a .308, pop up blinds to encourage more people to try archery hunts, & lastly some Spypoint cameras, testing to see if I can watch a watering hole back here in US. I fell in love with hunting there and plan on making it an annual trip. As a novice hunter I was successful on a walk and stalk for duiker, I plan on primarily archery hunting, but in the off chance I choose large game, I don’t want him to have a broken scope and it’s much more affordable for me to buy it all here and take on my journey. Am I violating any laws with these gifts? I wanted to be extra safe, you know as a lady traveling across the world solo, you can never be too careful.

I would ask him what would be of use to him. As long as it does not involve firearms, ammunition, and perhaps drones I can't imagine getting into trouble over inanimate objects.

First welcome to AH.

Check with the PH and see what he really needs. You might ask the company you plan on buying the replacement scope from about itar on the specific product.
