Hey guys I am flying to N Mexico for an archery elk hunt so trying to prepare with minimum luggage and have never gone this route before so open for pointers. I am definitely concerned about my bow and gear not showing up on the other end for starters is it smarter to ship it ahead or risk it? Also I was thinking of taking a large cooler with me and filling it with my pack , clothes ,arrows and misc then wouldn't have to buy one if we have meat to bring home. Meat I plan to either have cut and wrapped at meat shop and frozen or bone it and freeze it and cut it up at home. We are moteling it as we can't camp where we hunt( Valles Caldera) so that simplifies it some. Obviously want to do whatever is most affordable but don't want to risk messing up the hunt of a lifetime. Flying home horns I have been told to wrap the skull plate in cardboard and shrink wrap and put pipe insulation on tines but leave it so the handlers see what it is so they are more carefull with them?? Good ideas or bad. Thanks nwhunter
