Hello all, I have a simple and probably stupid question. But I was wondering if any of you have ever made a wooden crate including a taxidermied head and then checked it on the airplane as luggage. I will be traveling back home to Okla this weekend and my antelope from this past year is completed; therefore, I was just going to build a wooden crate and check it in as luggage on my return flight. I've looked at the airlines website and can't locate anywhere this would be prohibited; however, you never know. So just curious if anyone else has ever done this. Thanks, Graybird "Make no mistake, it's not revenge he's after ... it's the reckoning." | ||

As long as the dimensions (L+W+H) and weight are within normal limits, shouldn't be a problem. | |||

Not sure you could get it on as carry on & I don't think I would trust the airline gorillas to not damage it. Pack it very, very well if checking it.  LIFE IS NOT A SPECTATOR'S SPORT! | |||

I think you would be better off building a crate and simply shipping it UPS. ****************************************************************** R.

When hunting in Slovakia a few years back I shot a good deer. The trophy (european style) was prepared while I was still there and I checked it as regular bagage. Just packed the skull in newspapers and cardboard. The horns are over a metre long but it was no problem. It arrived first of all the bagage when I got home and caused some comment among the other passengers  | |||
