duckhunter, it was really pretty simple. Flying up I checked a 70 quart coleman cooler. It had my bedroll, and waders in it along with an REI duffle bag. After checking the hide in with fish and game I salted it and tight rolled, then froze as well as froze the skull and meat. Fish and game gave me the document to present to Alaska air for declaration of contents, they never even looked at it. I packed it all into the cooler and I gorilla taped it shut and checked my duffle bag as a second checked bag. 40 dollar checked bag fee vs shipping costs seemed pretty reasonable. And I had it home next day in my freezer. It went very smoothly. My hunting pack was my carry on and I forgot a live round in my coat pocket when I packed it. TSA got a little squirrely on that but let me through at any rate.
