[QUOTE="LRNut, post: 3085416, member: 3230"] I hunted in New Zealand last spring and borrowed my outfitter's rifle, because I stopped in Australia first (not hunting). Things have changed...back in 2003 I hunted and took my rifle every place I went. After my hunt, my outfitter had a suggestion: go hunt in the park on our own. We had a helicopter drop us off in a park; I had a fishing rod and my .300 SAUM. My wife and I hiked about 30 miles following two rivers, then got picked up by a jet boat that catered to fishermen. The boat dropped us off on the highway, which our helicopter pilot said was near his house - just hitchhike back. Believe it or not, the first car that came by picked us up, even though I clearly had a rifle. The first time I hunted in Scotland I got my gun permit in the airport, and then kept it with me for the entire visit, which included visiting friends in Manchester England. That was about 20 years ago; I wonder if that has changed as well. The last time I hunted in Scotland, I rented a gun. I have borrowed rifles for hunts in Scotland, Australia, and New Zealand, but with the exception of Australia (shots at water buff are not long), I would have preferred to bring my own. [/QUOTE]
