Default PGCA (sticker) in Romania

Greetings from Romania! Reading about the upcoming VGC has me a bit homesick. My family and I have relocated to Romania for two years. My lovely wife is originally from Moldova and while living in Alabama, we connected with a ministry doing great work with orphans in Moldova. The organization is Roads of Hope, www.roadsofhope.org. Amazing team of accomplished professionals from various backgrounds from academia to professional sports to work with. We are now living in the beautiful Transylvania region, assisting a church here, and traveling to Moldova to assist the ministry in helping those great kids and the many Ukrainian refugees there. It’s quite a privilege and a great adventure for our family. Sadly, Romania has very strict firearms laws and I was unable to bring my double guns, or any guns, with me. But I did bring a PGCA sticker and our wild and lovable GSP! While there aren’t any clays courses, Transylvania does have very good hunting, which an outfitter can arrange, along with a rental shotgun or rifle. Hopefully soon, “Kreigy” and I will be out chasing quail and pheasant, and later this season, I can do some big game hunting. Until then, I’ll be dreaming of days spent at the Southern or VGC. I can almost smell the burnt powder and cigar smoke. �� Have a blast and hopefully see everyone in a couple years out breaking clays!

Be safe, Joe. And come home when the time is right for you and your family. (and send photos from your exotic-to-many-of-us location).

Wear lots of wolfbane and ramp up the garlic recipes! Is there a daily bag or possession limit on bats?

Thanks, y’all! I have my garlic spray and silver shot loaded in my shells. Bats are no bag limit but no more than two shells in your gun, so may as well carry a SxS!

Were you able to bring a shotgun ?

I'm still trying to figure out a way to bring a shotgun or two into the Philippines with very little luck as of yet

Thanks for the idea however , I will take a Parker sticker a Fox sticker and a Boykin sticker to put on the back of the daughters Suzuki mini van

I haven’t brought in a shotgun and likely won’t. It’s possible to do it on a temporary basis with an invitation from a hunting outfitter. The question is, how long can I keep it here legally? Can I keep it for a couple years assuming I will take multiple hunting trips? I’m not exactly sure yet. To start, I’ll rent a shotgun/rifle and spend time talking to fellow hunters and guides. If I can bring a double with me on a return trip, it will likely be a less expensive gun in case something goes wrong.
