I just got back from Idaho with 230 lbs of meat, its a nice problem to have [8D]

While there two bulls where shot and we dealt with the meat differently. Roughly the same
weight of meat in both. In both cases the meat was boxed at the butcher, then put in a freezer at the lodge for about 24 hours. Not really enough time to freeze it, but good and cold, close to frozen.

The other guy UPS overnighted his home, from ID to MA, cost him $800, but it got to his house worry free and his wife put it in the freezer.

I took mine on the plane with me. You should check with your airline of choice. I flew United and was allowed 2 checked in bags, each under 50 lbs. Then $80/bag after 2 and if they were over 50 lbs an extra $25. Note that I had one box of meat that checked in at 51 lbs and they charged the extra $25. My meat was in plastic bags, then boxed. I had a 12 hour flight time due to delays/transfers, including drive time the meat was out of the freezers for about 15 hours. When I got it home it was still chilled, and had leaked into the plastic bags but not out of the boxes.

My suggestion would be to check with the airline and see if they will take a package that weighs 100 lbs. Then get a cooler at a local store and put the meat in that. Or just shoot a small deer
