Importing goat from B.C

[bascott1]

Heading to do a goat hunt in B.C in August, anyone have the info and regs on importing a goat back into the U.S?

I don't have any info for you but your outfitter should be able to give you an idea. Where are you going to be hunting?

I was just trying to get ahead of the ball. I’ll be outside of Hazelton B.C.

Not a goat, but my cougar was easy. I bet your outfitter has it dialed, ask them.

My guide/outfitter took the cat with me to a local taxidermist he works with. Guy knew what was needed, did all the paperwork, paid him and left with my cat. Border crossing was easy. CA didn’t care, US just wanted to see the papers and cites permit. Then one of the guys that hunts asked if he could see the cat.

Ok cool. So you were able to take it on the plane with you.

Cool, only a 1 1/2 hour drive from where I live. Beautiful country there and a good chance at getting a big one . Good luck, if you have any questions about the area and goat hunting just pm me.

No, I drove.

No issue flying my goat back with me from BC. Meat, hide and horns. Fill out the declaration at the U.S. customs desk and your good to go. If one of the agents wasn’t another bow hunter the whole process would have taken 10 minutes, but alas we shot the shit for awhile and he wanted to show all his buddies on the shift the pictures.

Good deal. Was hoping it would be pretty easy and take it back with me.

I brought a Moose back from B. C. No problems with the US Customs at the boarder. Just filled out the paperwork and very quick inspection of the Antlers, Meat and I was on my way.

They were far more detailed inspecting my rifles on the way in.

Good to hear it’s super simple and easy.
