[QUOTE="DocGlenn, post: 2302501, member: 5122"] I had two Axis Deer shipped from TX to GA. The processor in TX processed it, froze it, bought a cooler, packed it full and shipped it next day. It got to me a day or two late (can't remember to be honest) and most of the meat was still frozen. Some of it had begun to thaw, but it was in really good shape, didn't lose any. seems like it was around $350 to ship it to me including the cooler. An Elk will be 3X as much meat, its going to be pricey to do that. Had a friend shoot 2 elk in CO. They had a rental car to drive back to Denver, and decided to drive back instead of fly from Denver to Atlanta. We brought 2 caribou and the antlers back from AK last year, but we were flying AK Air. They have walk in freezers in the major airports (or at least they did in Seattle) and that worked out really well, just had to pay extra baggage on the giant boxes. Best advice I can give you is figure it out BEFORE you leave, call the processor, see if they can even process it while you are there and freeze it, ETC. The processor should be able to answer your questions about shipping it and what it would cost. Its a big issue to figure out. Good luck! [/QUOTE]
