Default RE: First time elk hunt

As far as getting antlers home if you fly, the outfitter usually has a taxidermist that he uses, the taxidermist will ship the antlers to your location. Airlines do not allow antlers to be shipped as luggage anymore. You might be able to do it is the antlers are boxed so they can not be seen. You really do not want to take your antlers as luggage if they are not boxed anyways because some of the baggage handlers are anti hunters and they will misplace you antlers or send them off to some other place, so if the outfitter does not have a taxidermist that he uses find one yourself.

I am a booking agent and work as a guide during the hunting season for an outfitter in NE BC. THis is a first class outfit with lots of elk. We do not have book elk in the area but you should be able to get a 300 to 340 class bull during the rut rifle hunt. If you want some info email me at [email protected]
