To be honest, bringing a firearm into the US is a nightmare, unless it is for hunting and then it is just a bad dream. You will need a hunting license, for the hunting sort of exemption.

South Africa, Zimbabwe, Canada in the old days no problem, just fill out the forms. But, the US, no way. Three months sounds about right.
You might be able to buy a firearm from a pawn shop and then sell it back on your way out. A citizen of Her Majesty, Queen Elizabeth, that worked for me had a green card (which isn't green) and it was legal for him to buy a firearm in Maryland. Not sure if you are just visiting.
More to the point, if you have the gun, can you make the shot? A wounded animal is dangerous to everyone.
