Hey ya'll! Well I got drawn for a Kansas Public land deer hunt this fall and I've decided to fly and meet my buddy to save my self 19 hours of driving one way. I'm looking into how I'm going to pack my bow and I'm trying to get away with just one checked bag. I'm hoping to come up with a way I can put my bow into something along with all my clothes, arrows, release, saddle, 4 LW sticks, broadheads, etc. Then I can put everything else into my backpack and my carry on. Ie. rangefinder, binos etc. I've been on all sorts of different forums and I feel like my heads gonna explode with all the information overload! Some guys use hard cases (SKB or pelican mostly). Some guys just pack their bows and all their clothes in a big wheeled duffle bag like the big ones from Cabelas. One guy even said he uses a rolling motocross gear bag. I know I can get the aforementioned stuff into one of the SKB I series double bow cases but they're like $300! Sitka has a soft duffle (Sitka Nomad) designed for the traveling bowhunter but it's $399! The better half has already voiced her, shall we say, "displeasure" over the price of the tag/license ($550) and the plane ticket. So a $300-$400 bow case is not in the budget. Oh and did I mention I'm new to saddle hunting (mantis/predator isn't even here yet) so you all know how much I've spent on that already this year! Anyway, I've come to trust most of the stuff I've learned on this forum and I was just wondering if any of ya'll had any experience and insight into this. Thanks for your time!
