re: Flying back with game meat

Wife and I regularly hunt elk in Utah. First tip is fly back first class if you will have a lot of meat. This affords you 70lb items instead of 45lbs. A igloo cube on wheels 60qt weighs like 18lbs. Put your meat in black garbage bags once cooled off course. The day before throw five lbs of dry ice in it. This will freeze the meat partially. You can only have one lb of dry ice per chest. Should be there by the next day. You will have to open the drain plugs to vent reason for meat in garbage bags. Leave it untaped in case they want to look in it. But definitely tape up once checked at the counter. They have the tape there. It’s super easy.
