Just booked my flight to Minot, North Dakota for the first weekend of October.
Going to meet a friend up there that just started a small business. Tons of birds he says.
How would you go about shipping 20-30 ducks/geese?

Breast out vacuum seal in flat brick shapes and freeze I. Deep freeze for 48 hrs. Wrap frozen packets in multiple layers of news paper and place in thick styrofoan container. Place that in a cardboard box and ship UPS.
Drs offices get and throw away a lot of the box Styrofoam cooler combos for vaccine/ med shipments.

We ship quite a bit and just use Ak. Airlines guidelines for shipping fish. Works for any game
Remember the Lacey Act. You have to specifically label all game shipments for interstate travel I do believe.
quote:
It is the shipper's responsibility to package all perishable shipments. To maximize freshness and quality, the product must be able to withstand a minimum of 48 hours in transit until pickup, without refrigeration. The following acceptance standards comply with general regulations of all major carriers.
Packaging
Freeze or chill seafood thoroughly before packaging for best final destination temperature.
Select durable, watertight packaging, preferable with insulation. Sturdy metal or hard plastic camping coolers, or waxed corrugated cartons (wetlock boxes) are the preferred shipping containers.
Wetlock Cartons
A multi-walled, waxed fiberboard / cardboard wetlock carton is the accepted container, provided one 4-mil polyethylene bag, or two 2-mil bags is used inside.
A standard wetlock carton shall provide easy handling, better stacking capability and allow for maximum cubic space capacity.
Bags must be sealed with elastic bands or nylon clips to prevent leakage.
Wetlock boxes should have the bottom stressed for 275 pounds and the top for 200 pounds.
Coated waxed cartons may be used for shipping frozen seafood.
Previously used cartons shall not be acceptable.
Containers must be sealed or secured with strapping tape, or a similar material.
Unapproved styrofoam coolers or boxes shall not be accepted by Alaska Airlines.
Gel ice packs are recommended to hold perishables at proper temperatures.
Wet ice is not allowed.
Dry ice is excellent for freezing perishables. Each container must be clearly marked with the words "DRY ICE" and the quantity of dry ice. More than 5 pounds requires the processing of Dangerous Goods documentation.
High standards of packaging on all seafood shipments must be maintained.
Leakage must be prevented at all times.
They make specific boxes )wetlock) for shipping fish. These work well for any game. We use gelpacks or dry ice.
quote:
Wet-Lock Boxes are fully waxed corrugated containers designed specifically for shipping fresh products that require minimal refrigeration. These boxes come in a two-piece telescoping gusseted design to ensure water resistance and insulation when used with a 4mil poly liner.

Freeze the game first of course. Pakc in foam ice chests with dry ice. Tape it up with ducktape. If you get it shipped overnight everything will be fine.

I hunt all over the U.S. and the best way to get your game home with you is to bring it on the plane. I try to freeze my wild game and then put it in a styrofoam ice chest that fits in a card board box so you can tape it up. Just check it on the plane like its one of your bags. That is by far the cheapest and easiest way to get your game home in the shortest amount of time. I brought three 50lb boxes of moose home last year from Alaska that was already frozen and put no dry ice in it . It cost me $75 for all of it. I didn't use dry ice and it was still frozen when I landed. Hope this helps I can guarantee this is the easiest way unless for some reason the airport loses you ice chest. Just remember the heavier the ice chest the more its going to cost.
