RE: Shipping Meat Back via airlines
Ship your hunting clothes home in a box using regular ground.Check in one bag being your gun bow or whatever.Get yourself one of the big white coolers from walmart, you should be able to fit almost one whole processed elk in the big white cooler. That would make it so you would have to only pay the overage weight on one check on. It may take a week or so to get your gear at your home, but it will be pretty cheap to ship. The cost to get the meat home would be the price of shipping your gear regular ground UPS, the overage weight on one check on, plus the price of the cooler. And you end up with a heck of a nice beer cooler for the porch when the steaks are on the grill!!!!!
