waterfowler_gal Posted May 19, 2005 Report Share Posted May 19, 2005 So I am extremely excited to be hunting this fall in Canada for the first time for waterfowl this October. I want to bring the people who are having me a cool gift from the U.S.-any ideas? It is a father-son duo who has been guiding for over 30 years now and have become great friends of myne.... Thanks! I have been trying to brainstorm but thought some of you could offer some great ideas! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

waterfowler_gal Posted May 19, 2005 Author Report Share Posted May 19, 2005 Re: NEED YOUR HELP They have a really cool hunting lodge-I want something that is really different and unique that has to do with either beer or waterfowling..lol Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
carbonhunter Posted May 19, 2005 Report Share Posted May 19, 2005 Re: NEED YOUR HELP how about a custom call, the minn/iowa area have a ton of classic custom call makers. As for the beer thing they live in canada and get much better beer than we do, plus you maay have some issues crossing the border with the stuff??

sasksheds Posted May 19, 2005 Report Share Posted May 19, 2005 Re: NEED YOUR HELP Hey the custom call idea is GREAT!! Or a custom hand carved decoy.There are some great carvers out there.I would welcome & consider either of these ideas for gifts a special gesture.

[/ QUOTE ] No trouble bringing beer into Canada, each person is allowed a case of beer (or 40oz bottle of hard stuff) and a carton of cigarettes or chew, you can bring more, but you have to pay duty on it. but you're right, Canadian beer is ALOT better Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Palssonater Posted May 25, 2005 Report Share Posted May 25, 2005 Re: NEED YOUR HELP Best gift I ever got was a fresh box of Cigars. Can't even remember what I got but they were unique and came with a waterfowl scene painted on the humidor/box Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rbduck Posted May 25, 2005 Report Share Posted May 25, 2005 Re: NEED YOUR HELP Maybe a gift certificate from one of the sporting goods stores that are not in Canada? Where are you going in Canada? Ron Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Missed160 Posted May 26, 2005 Report Share Posted May 26, 2005 Re: NEED YOUR HELP I know that with the new gun laws it has been tough & very expensive for Canadians to purchase shotgun shells. I would say bring them a case of shells. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
waterfowler_gal Posted May 26, 2005 Author Report Share Posted May 26, 2005 Re: NEED YOUR HELP Lake St.Clair.. flying into Flint, Michigan then getting picked up. Thanks for the good ideals guys.. keep em coming! I have some old hand saws from the farm and my friend does wildlife paintings... I had her do one for my dad-it was him set up with a gobbler in strut with some hens... so that might be it but with a waterfowl scene. ???? Not sure.... just want to make it a memorable and a gift to show my gratitude. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Palssonater Posted May 26, 2005 Report Share Posted May 26, 2005 Re: NEED YOUR HELP That sounds like a great idea Waterfowl Girl. I love those saws done up like that. Farm site, buck, tom or ducks. I would say that is a great idea! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
