SO just have a taxidermist do the skull work and have them ship to you so you can have it mounted on a pedestal. Just call ahead if you want a taxidermist to pick it up on a sunday so you can make a monday AM flight (or whatever). I hate that last minute call on a sunday PM (that we dont know about) cuz a hunter doesnt pre-plan.

Shipping yourself can save you some money but if you go through AK air be sure and get on the books as a known shipper before the trip. Its a pain in the butt but you cant ship with them without it.
