Checking elk rack on Southwest?

[RLXFXR]

Anyone have a good or bad experience checking your elk rack on Southwest Airlines? I plan to check several coolers (50lbs each) of meat, but not sure if it’s feasible to get the rack and hide home. Thanks

They will likely make you split it.

I'd UPS it back home.

I split my skull cap and lashed the rack to my bag. A couple of funny looks but it was ok. When I got home I just epoxied it back together.

Just FYI, but with meat if you need to bring more home you can pay overweight fees and bring coolers up to 100 lbs. I flew home with 2 70 qts at 95 lbs a piece in 2021. I had room left in the coolers, and I think you could get those weights in a 55 qt, and possibly avoid oversize fees.

I had a euro done in CO because of CWD regs, so no help there. Good luck!

I shipped a 5x5 as checked luggage on Southwest a couple years ago. Made sure all tine tips were padded and wrapped it with plastic wrap
