For those of you who have waterfowl hunted in Alaska. How did you get ammunition to Alaska? I will be hunting in Cold Bay for six days. Most airlines only allow you 11 pounds and I am sure I will need more than that.

Why not buy a few cases from Rogers and just pay the extra to ship it there?

Take all the foam out of your hard case and pack gun with clothes/ammo.

I travel plenty in the lower 48 with ammo in my luggage. I guess the question I meant to ask was more along the lines of "Is there anywhere in Anchorage to buy ammo? Places that have a reliable selection." In Alaska it is ok to check up to 50 pounds of ammo. I can't do that from the Texas to Alaska.

Don’t know if weight restrictions change, but you will absolutely have plenty of options such as Sportsman’s Warehouse, Cabelas, etc.

I learned long ago you can't reason someone out of something they don't reason themselves into.

There are plenty of places all over Alaska that keep well stocked with ammo. The sportsmens warehouse's up there alone have insane selections. I mean it's Alaska. ..
