For my 2015 Alaskan moose hunt, I brought back 75#'s of the best cuts of meat, 25#'s salted cape and I believe it was 40#'s of moose rack. IIRC it cost me another $200 at the Delta ticket desk in ANC. I did this based on the recommendations of my long time guide. He said after many years of logistics with multiple transporters, it was easier and safer to put it on the plane with you. The costs are about the same he said and you have no worries about the whereabouts of the frozen meat, etc. from another shipper.
When I arrived back in MSP, it was all sitting at the oversize check-in office near the luggage carousel.
Good luck.
