Hey All,
I've been trying for over a year now to get a Pro-Hunter 4297 Slug Gun up here to Canada. Man, what a farse!!! Don't know why in the world it should be so dainged difficult. Anyway, I found an e-mail address for Greg Ritz, the C.E.O. and sent him a plea for help. Lets see if that works.

Call Jim shockey, aint he a canucker? He should have some pull! He's their spokesman.

That's a good thought.... Don't know if he's Canadian or not. But he is one of their "Pro-Hunters" so I'll certainly get after him too. Anyone got an e-mail address for him?

Never mind.....
I found Jim's Web-Site. Sent a plea for help on there. Hell, I've even tried to e-mail Gregg Ritz the C.E.O. of T/C. Don't know if I'm getting anywhere or just spinnin' my wheels. But I'm trying damn it.

Buck: Are you having a problem getting the gun, or getting the gun into Canada ?? If it's getting it into Canada, what problems have you encountered ?? Maybe I can steer you in the right direction.

I guess the Canadian suppliers are having a hard time getting these things. Don't know who's to blame T/C or otherwise. They really are missing out on some good opportunities up here though. The good news is, I got a call from T/C's marketing manager today. He's going todo what it takes toget me my gun. FINALLY!
Raising a stink sometimes pays off.

Hey buck shooter, just wondering how you are making out with the gun??? i am in New Brunswick Canada, and im having the extact same problem. Im looking for a H&R Ultra Slug Hunter Deluxe. Been trying for about 6 months now, and i cant find or get one anywhere.......wish it was just as easy to take a drive into the States and Bring one back.......dont know why 2 countries so close have to be so damn anal with each other.....haha...

Anyways, let us know how you make out with the TC, i might have to go the TC route too instead of the H&R

I know your just kidding but one answer sums it up best.... 9/11.

Stewy,
I had to hound the devil outta them. The good news is, my gun is finally on the way. I wrote their marketing manager and told him they really should improve their Canadian connection. We have some of the worlds' best hunting here, therefore a potentially huge market for their company. Hopefully it'll helpall of usin the future.
