We stopped at a local store, bought a plastic bin with a lid, stuffed a bunch of clothes in with the antlers for pad and checked it as baggage. We flew Delta and Delta usually charges $150.00. As checked baggage we paid $60.00 and we were able to stuff two antlers in the bin. I'm sure when they x-rayed the box, they saw what was in it. But, my buddy has done it this way for 3 years, no problems thus far.
