The airlines I use to travel no longer will accept dry ice. Just mentioned that....you might want to contact your airlines on their regulations. I use United, Northwest, Contenetal, and Southwest alot and they all have pretty good websites that have the do's and dont's if you ae interested. You are doing the right thing in trying to find answers now.....the last thing you want is to have hidden surprises when ya go to the counter[8D]All in all, it's going to cost you some funds to have any meat/capes/antlers shipped to your home.
