Just got the gear box unloaded with our antlers. Here is a pic (cellphone pic so not great) of the droptines that are coming out of the back of the paddles. Has to be one of my favorite parts of the rack altogether. Enjoy!

That is too cool. I may very well be wrong, but why did i think that if you wernt a resident in alaska it was required to have guide? It seems like ive heard this somewhere before. Is it only in certain GMU's?

Those are a couple of great looking bulls! 
 
Alaska Air Cargo I think is the way to go when shipping meat and antlers from AK to WA.  What a lot of people don't know is that Alaska Air has a freezer at the airport.  Once you check in your shippment they put it directly into a freezer.  At SeaTac they have a freezer as well.  So the only time your shipment is out of the freezer is when it is in flight. 
 
I just picked up several Caribou from Alaska Air Cargo up at SeaTac a few weeks ago.  Everything was still frozen when I got it.

Griz, sheep, and I believe goats require guides or kinship. Moose, bou, and black bears are all DIY.

How bad did air freight hurt?
