tmartin,
I'm a wayward KY boy myownself. I tell you what we do here. Have yer meat processed an' when its done, ship it FedEx back home. It only takes 3 days fer the processin' plant to get it packaged an' froze. Do a lil' trout fishin' while you wait. If yer drivin' to MT, you can take the froze meat home in coolers (big ones) with some dry ice. Jus' check it regular an' add ice. As fer the trophy. Have the face caped out (yer guide can do this) an' freeze the cape, then ship it too. The airlines will take yer horns ifn you put pieces of hose on the antler tips with duck tape. Check with the airlines to see which is best 'bout trophies afor you buy yer ticket. Have a great time on yer hunt an' say hello to my ol' KY home, even if it is gettin' overrun with buckeyes, yankees an hoosiers.
