Thanks everyone for all the info. I am going to take your advice Double A and Statjunk and freeze the meat solid.

The bag limit in Alabama is 2 does or, 1 buck and 1 doe a day so I am hoping thatwe can bring enough meat to fill a couple of coolers. I am going to try to pack my clothes and gear as carry on.

Iam hunting with my brother so we are going to buy a double gun case and so we can check the guns as his, that way I can save checking an item and hopefully check another cooler of meat.

I will post pics in the Southern forum if we get lucky.
