    Getting caribou to lower 48 from Kotzebue

    I just got back from caribou hunting in Kotzebue. We put meat and capes in fish boxes. Then my buddy and I nested out antlers, customized a box. We checked all the fish boxes and antlers as checked baggage. Everything arrived at our final destination.
