Thread: Flying with a gun

Hey guys looking at heading down south to shoot a few ducks and deer when the waikato season finishes next week.
Anyone had much experience taking a gun on a plane?
From what i have been told, locked hard case checked in to checked baggage as an over sized item.

Is there certain airlines to look out for? was hoping to fly jetstar as the price is better.

any feedback or advice would be much appreciated.

Cheers
