RE: Getting guns to Alaska
What ABM states is not to far off in costs or what to expect.
As for your weapons however, BE VERY CAREFUL when shipping as they need to be sent via a FFL lisc holder to a FFL lisc holder at the other end! One main reason to carry it on yourself! Bows vs rifle shipping requirements are vastly different! A quick talk to local gun shop can verify this.
Prices vary from carrier to carrier. The last I heard Delta was the only flight that will allow you to take moose antlers excess baggage anymore. Ak Air you have to Air Freight them back which can get costly. One thing you can do is split the skull, tape them together, and ship postal, ups, or fed ex....If you want to play the score game, be prepared to pay the price. As for the mount deal, its also not cheap to ship back an animal in the size crate that would be needed for a shoulder mount Moose or decent caribou! A way around this would be to get the detachable antlers if at all possible!
On the meat, also dont rule out donating it to the village you'll be fly in our out of. If you take care of it, donating half of the meat is not a uncommon thing....and you'll still go home with 250-300lbs of meat on a mature bull.
