Flying with guns

Im going to Alaska this fall on a bear/moose hunt. Does anybody have any experience flying with guns? I have locking gun/bow cases. Has any one brought back game before?

I will check with Alaska airlines before I go, but I'm looking for stories.

I haven't done it in years so nothing I can tell you would probably be of any help. ..... Call the air line and see what the scoop is. lol and go early and bring your own KY

They have to be declared when you check in, they have to be unloaded, they have to be separated from ammunition, they have to be in hard cases, and they have to be locked. That is what TSA requires. Each individual airline will probably have their additions to that list.

Generally they say no ammunition unless its hard to find. If your going to Alaska, Alaska Airlines will probably be more lienant on the ammunition rule knowing that people take more obscure calibers.
