When I hunted AK. a few years ago, I had my meat processed in Anchorage and then shipped to Denver International, where I went and picked it up. It was shipped in freezer boxes and for the most part, it was all still frozen when I got it to my house. Cost about $.90/pound to ship. I only kept 250#'s of my 650#'s of meat. The rest I left with my BIL and sister in Anchorage, and what they didn't take, the outfitter got the rest.
I ended up selling my cape to the taxidermist in Anchorage and had a Euro. mount done with my moose because I simply don't have the room for a 65" moose shoulder mount in my house. The cape paid for the euro. to be done. The shipping to my work place for the euro. was about $300. That cost would've been much higher had it been a shoulder mount. I opted to keep the antlers in tact, but they can make the antlers detachable for cheaper shipping, PLUS if you get a large moose and go with a shoulder mount, you better have french doors to get them through IF you don't have the antlers detachable.
