Decided to go on that out of state spring bear hunt this year? Maybe you finally saved up for that Alaska Sheep hunt this fall? Planning and traveling for an out of state hunt can be stressful and flying can add another layer of complexity to the rules and regulations you need to know. I’m going to cover some of the most commonly misunderstood topics and questions related to flying with firearms, camping gear, hunting gear, and animal parts.<\/p>\n
Flying With Firearms<\/strong><\/p>\n
This is one of the most commonly misunderstood topics related to flying as a hunter. You can fly with firearms. However, very strict policies must be followed.<\/p>\n
\n
For starters, the firearm must be legal to possess in your home state and in the destination state you are headed to. Check local laws if in doubt. DO NOT FLY THROUGH NY or NJ with a firearm if you can possibly avoid it. While technically legal if you are headed somewhere else, police in NY and NJ have been known to follow state rather than federal law in regards to firearms. You will likely be arrested first and have to assert a defense later.<\/li>\n
