Re: Getting your deer home
While I don't have any personal experience with this- I remembered hearing some sound advice on the Meat Eater podcast. I went back to check and its episode 30, dated May 4. They deal with that specific question (flying domestically with game food). Steve answers a bunch of listener submitted questions, so you'll have to wade through it, but as is often the case with Steven Rinella, it's all pretty entertaining.

We used dry ice last year in wyoming. Worked well. Got a block of it at the meatpacking place in town.

Thanks, I'll have to check that out.

Friend of mine flys in from the east coast and hunts Wyoming with us.
If he gets a deer, we take it to a local locker plant, he pays them to
process it and they will ship the meat to him.

Re: Getting your deer home
Dry ice works really well. if you are hunting out west it is easy to get as most grocery stores even have it during hunting season.

Re: Getting your deer home
also, if flying - put your meat in vacuum packed bags, freeze them overnight if possible (some processors and outfitters will do this for you for a fee if you arrange it in advance) and then pack up ice chest and then check them. Usually it is far cheaper to pay the 2 baggage fees then it is to ship - and they get there same day you do. When I fish Alaska I always check it as extra baggage.
