I don't think it's a trick question.  If you're bringing in your
favorite pair of .455 Nitro Express rifles to shoot
politicians^H^H^H^H^H^H^H^H^H^H^Hwooly mammoth with they'd naturally
like to know that you'll at least have an even chance against the
ravening beast.  Too many hunters killed in the woods by the game
leave a poor impression and scare away new customers. ;-)

My uncle, may he rest in peace, used to go up to Canada every year to
hunt moose, and he always took along a couple of rifles.  .30-06 I believe.

Yours,
