United Airlines ends ‘no antlers’ policy
United Airlines instituted a ‘no antlers’ baggage policy in 2009. Trophy hunters and the U.S. Sportsmans Alliance led a public sentiment campaign to get United Airlines to revise their policy and it succeeded. We at SOTS would like to thank United Airlines for showing consideration to hunters who use their airlines and we invite SOTS readers to reward United Airlines with their business.
“The new policy will allow passengers to check one set of antlers or animal horns per ticketed customer, at a cost of $175. There are certain linear dimension restrictions that must be met, and the antler tips and skull must be wrapped and properly protected.”
Another reminder of the importance of belonging to organizations that protect hunter’s rights.
