For sure, I would think that's the way to go if you can ship air cargo and you're looking to save some money. We've always processed our own meat so that's a bonus. I will say, it took forever.... having to let 90lb blocks of frozen meat thaw before being able to peel pieces apart to butcher.

My first post on this forum was in 2017 when we decided we were doing the moose hunt and I was looking for information. I had no clue where to start but I read almost every new thread that popped up in the moose section and countless older threads trying to learn everything I could. So many...
