Hey 20GA,

I just got off the phone with the friend of mine who knows the guy we had to leave behind. I called my friend because I know the person with problems did go elk hunting in 2006. My friend tells me that his buddy went to the lawyer and got that charge expunged. I guess it was to have come off but for some reason it didn't once he had it expunged there were no problems with him going into Canada in 2006. He said the guy told him it cost about $350.00 to get it done.

FYI

OUCH! Doesn't sound good for the home team. I'm over 18yrs old and the reckless driving took place in 2006. If your info is correct you would think they will let me know this when they reply to my form I sent in. I don't know if I can wait ten years. You would think there has to be some way to get in. Thanks for the extra effort DARKSIDE55.

In my younger years I really enjoyed and looked forward to hunting in Canada. But after they decided that all hunters from the States had to have guides to hunt, I decided to hunt in the US only. To explore new states and game has been a real thrill. Maybe the hunters in the US should pull a Zumbo on Canada or at least insist that all hunters in the US with a Canadian passport be restricted to guided hunts also.[:-]

Why is the hunting so good in Canada? Because there is no pressure, if we were to allow everyone and their dog up here it would ruin it for everyone.We are protecting it forour hunters as well as the hunters who wish to travel here to hunt. If it was a zoo ofpeople it wouldn't be worth coming here. We allow non guided waterfowl hunting in sask and its an honest battle competing with americans paying farmers for hunting rights.I do not have to beat out other resident hunters for permission i am having to make sure i scout/ask before the americans get to them, shouldn't be that way. You can hunt in alberta without a guide however require a host. Personally i like this system because it still limits the amount of non residents coming in but lets a few slip under the outfitter fees. As for restricting Canadians to guided hunts its already going on. Personally ido not have a problem with it, i am not a citizen of yourCountry i should have to pay a little extra to have the right to hunt, as you are not a citizen of our country, works both ways.

Update:
I contacted the Canadian Border Crossing Service which seems like a law firm that deals with cases like mine. They told me because my offense is so recent that I wouldn't qualify for any type of permit. I could apply but more than likely would get rejected. They told me that the border only randomly checks people but if they did I would more likely get denided entry. I can't take that risk, so sounds like my dream of hunting moose in canada for this year has been crushed. I was really hoping this wasn't going to be an issue.I hope this info can help keep someone from getting burnt at the border. Happy Hunting.

It is more than obvious that the USA needs and wants to know who is entering your country. Why should Canada be any different. Just schrole down to the Politics section and see how many Americans complain about Mexican criminals etc entering the USA.
Guys like handloader1 should stopbeing a hypocrit.
Suppose;
I'm areformed serial killer that has a dream of shootin a pig in Texas. Why shouldn't I have the RIGHT to do just that?
I aggree that your charge is not too serious, but dumping on Canada for protecting its citizens will get you no where. If guys like handloader1 had a change of additude it would go a long way to resolving your problem.
After all its our moose your a wanting. I do wish you good luck but if the moose stays here for me thats ok too.
