On my trip to AK last fall, I had my moose processed in Anchorage and shipped home. Cost me $.90# to ship my meat from AK. to CO., it was just in waxed boxes, never kept on ice, took nearly 3 days, and the meat was still frozen when it arrived. Might also concider having a local taxidermist, to where you are hunting, do the tanning on your cape and then have it shipped to your residence and have your local taxidermist do the mount! It also cost me $375 to ship my Euro mounted moose down! We brought frozen fish in our check in baggage when we flew home!
