Getting caribou horns home

Of you guys that have made to trip north for caribou how did you get you caribou horns home? I would like to not split them if I can. I think that they could be shipped via USPS if I read it right. Whatr does a average set of horns weight say from a 300" bull?
Thanks

Weight is part of it but also just the pure size of the box needed is a major factor. When we shipped our moose antlers back, we nearly doubled the shipping price by not splitting them (if I remember right).
We felt the same way but now looking back, wish we would have just split them (no record breaker).
Once you mount them on a plaque or mount no one will ever know.

I shipped a non-split rack home one year from Illiamna, AK. It was borderline book. I paid an up charge ($90) to Alaska Airlines to have it shipped whole, as part of my checked baggage. The skull had to be clean and covered and all the points had to be covered. I used cardboard and duct tape. All went well until I had to transfer to a smaller plane for the last leg of the trip. It wouldn't fit in the cargo hold, so some bozo just crushed the two halves together so it would fit.

Luckily I wrote down all the width measurements when it was whole, so it was easy to mount back to original. It would not have made the book anyway, I found out later.

If it's not a book animal, just split it (after taking some photos and recording width).

I'm just guessing but I think my rack weighs about 10 lbs.

I know some airlines will no longer ship antlers. You better double check. I have had a taxidermist that was friends with my outfitter ship home antlers, hides, etc and they have all been crated and shipped but it was a several hundred dollar charge and that was with the skull split.
