I shiped the antler home in a boxafter spliting the skull via ups. out of dillingham ak. or anywhere then ,I filled the box up with all my cloths,tents sleeping bag and everything I could it cost $160 . The cape goes in trash bags and a wax fish shipping box as luggage,one time I carryed a carabou cape in my carry on { fur coat if asked,raw}the meat I brought home the same way as the moose cape.I payed for 2 extra bags, the meat was cold and it stayed plenty cold for the flight home maybe 10 hours. I drive out west because I want all my camping stuff and a quad ,so you and your buddys can go in two dirctions. Good luck from Pa.
