hello SCH!
I will be flying to Anchorage next Friday to partake on a black bear hunt and halibut/fishing trip. 8 days, and the men I am going with are experienced Alaska hunter and have a couple of planes and a boat, so I have transportation taken care of.
However I am not use to the weather there. I have been watching the weather report for the past couple of weeks to ensure i have all the equipment necessary. Its been lows of the mod 30's, and highs are in the mid 50s, and rain almost every other day. Does anyone here have experience with this type of hunting trip and have any tips/recommendations on things to bring that I would not normally think to?
Last thing, it will be my first time traveling on a plane with a rifle and pistol. I have bought a nice heavy duty Plano gun case that I have cut out inside to fit the rifle, the bolt, and my glock. I have bought 4 heavy duty key locks to insert into the lock slots, and I am aware that I have to notify them that I am traveling with a firearm. Any tips on traveling with guns or things I need to make sure I have with me?
Thank you in advance SCH!
