Deerhunter:
From my experience with customs and moving rifles .... it is imperative that you get the name and number of the girl you spoke to and have it with you as well as her supervisors name and extension.... trust me, if there is room for interpretation to the rules, there is room for a F up!

I have missed a flight to SCI in Vegas due to U S customs staff with 4 rifles in tow and I had all the correct paperwork in hand! Customs guys can be real jerks just because they can be and like to be!

I wish you all the best with your travels and certainly with your hunt. The best advice I can offer you is to have those names and numbers with you when you travel and if you have an email trail,,,, print them and carry them with you and on your person not in your luggage or in your cases.

All the best!
