One way to cut cost would be to drive up there.  My ex and I went on a caribou hut for our honeymoon, drove to Anchorage and flew in from Willow.  It is an easy three day drive for two people and we only took two on the way home.  Had the meat frozen up there and packed it in insulated (1" foam from Home depot) U-haul boxes.  We still had to wait a couple days for the boned out meat to thaw enough to process.

Awesome story!  :) I know the feeling about your luggage I have hunted SE Alaska out of Sitka several times and the ONE time I had to leave as soon as I flew in they leave my bag in Juneau. Luckily I had left a rifle there from previous hunts, so I did the only thing I could do went into town and bought what I needed for 5 days of hunting and got on the boat and headed out

Not sure how I missed this earlier, but what a great hunt it looks like you had.  Incredible bulls for sure.
