For you guys who have done this before. My buddy and I are flying out of Dillingham this Sept for a moose hunt and I just wanted first hand knowledge of what you all have experienced.
Im considering shipping my tote up early that has a majority of camp gear to Dillingham to make sure its there before we arrive. Then have my checked bag with clothing/personal items and a checked gun case. However, it would be just as easy to pay the extra bag fee and check all 3 items. Has anyone had issues with luggage being lost during transport? I fly into anchorage and only have a 4 hour layover (hopefully) before heading to Dillingham. I know Dillingham is "bigger" than any of the small communities other people may fly into so I don't think that getting all my gear there should be an issue. I suppose either way ANY lost gear would be an issue regardless of what bag it is.
Just curious on what route people have went and what experiences they had with either doing all checked bags or shipping early.
