[QUOTE="montana7mmhunter, post: 2300609, member: 118095"] Have the butcher/processor ship your meat can be extremely expensive. I can only speak for shipping cost for Delta Airline, since that is the airline I have used for the last 25+ years for deer and elk hunts in Montana and Colorado. I bring my deer/elk home as excess luggage. First, the airlines do not allow the use of dry ice. I always have my meat processed, wrapped land frozen locally. I generally purchase regular 48 qt. Igloo coolers and a roll of duct tape. I pack the frozen meat in the cooler, but make sure it does not exceed 50 pounds (anything over 50 pounds incurs and additional charge because of the weight). Coolers weighing more than 50 pounds increases the cost significantly. I normally have an early morning flight connecting through SLC arriving in Atlanta around midnight. The meat is still frozen solid when I arrive home using the cheap igloo coolers. I would check with your airline to see if they have a limit on the number of pieces of luggage you can check and the cost for each bag. This help you determine and compare shipping cost. [/QUOTE]
