flying with taxidermy

[Bricjackson]

can i fly with a taxidermy mount of a deer in a wooden crate as long as it does not exceed the total measurement of 80”?

will i have to open the crate when i check it to show whats inside? 

Thank you

You should be able to check your deer mount, and, no, you should not have to open the crate.
