Buy a good hard-sided case for the gun and another for the bow (if you are planning on taking it). Most of the plastic cases won't protect your rifle as well as an aluminum case.
Buy a lockable ammo case since you are supposed to keep ammo and guns separate. Don't try to ship ammo in your luggage or the gun case. The TSA guys have very little sense of humor about that.
And when you get there, sight in before you get to where you are hunting. Nothing moves the animals to the next valley like some idiot shooting for half an hour or more in the next camp.
