am thinking they might let you do it, if you remove the top bar and keep it really flat by not having much in it.

but I always just put mine in a duffel bag and check as luggage when I was flying commercially to hunt alot, course most of that occurred pre 9-11


I just used a day pack for my spotting scope, rangefinder, binocs and sat phone

figured it was just under 4K worth of stuff in there.

I'm pretty certain when we sing our anthem and mention the land of the free, the original intent didn't mean cell phones, food stamps and birth control.
