Heading to ID next week to chase elk. If for some reason I run into one from the bottom of the gene pool and am able to hang my tag on it, I then have to try to get as much of it home as possible. If I get it early enough in the hunt, I'll get it to a processor so it's hopefully frozen or at least mostly frozen before the flight. I plan on buying a cooler there and then paying the outrageous fees to get it home. BUT, if it's a last minute deal and not frozen, how do you guys recommend getting in from ID to IN?
One option would be to leave to leave it with BOY to have it processed and then pay for next day shipping from there to here. I guess I could do that either way.
Do they allow for coolers to be flown with dry ice? Would the un-climate controlled part of the plane be cold enough to keep the meat for the one day of travel?
How do you pack your meat (yes, I typed that)? Last time from AK to UT, the frozen meat was sealed in the cooler with a luggage strap and packing tape. Any other way work better?
Thanks in advance.
