Application / Regulation advice Firearms on BC ferries??? Need to declare??

Hi. I am going on a hunting trip from prince rupert to skidegate on bc ferries.

Is there a need to declare my firearms as "dangerous goods" when buying my ticket?

This seems like such a hassle and heard from people that they don't even care/check.

Any advice would be great. Thanks!

If anything the ammo may need to be declared as it’s “explosive” but the firearms securely stored are no danger to anyone

Not unless you're transporting a pallet's worth you're not. A box of ammo is as dangerous as a carton of matches. You wouldn't declare your matches, would you?
