I don't check zero. But I normally shoot around 1000 yards if I can to make sure impacts are lining up at the new elevation and conditions.
 
Driving: No
Flying: you betcha! Your rifle case will get tossed around big time. It's nice to check and have confidence that it'll be on when it matters.

Fortunately I'm out west now, but for the past several seasons, I was flying with a rifle from Cleveland to Wyoming.
 
I don't fly so there is that. I do check my zero before the hunt whether it's in state or out of state. Usually the week before the hunt starts. The one thing that always bothered me was jamming my rifle down in a saddle scabbard, riding 15-20 miles. Now I did check it before I started but when I get there I'm in the middle of my hunting country so I don't really want to be making a bunch of noise. Besides what could happen being on a horse for several hours. I will add that in all the years I did this I never had an issue.
