"Dry Ice

Dry ice may be placed in carry-on and checked baggage subject to the following limitations: In all cases, the packaging must allow for the release of carbon dioxide gas. For carry-on baggage, each person may carry up to 4 pounds of dry ice. In checked baggage, the limit is 5 pounds per package. The package must be marked with the net weight of the dry ice or the statement that the net weight of dry ice is 5 pounds or less. The name of the contents being cooled, along with the words "Dry Ice" or "Carbon Dioxide, Solid" must be on the outside of the package."

Valuable, highly perishible biologicals (stuff like horse semen, bull semen, special enzymes, etc) are sometimes transported chilled in dry ice

I would think if he was actually doing it he would be doing it with the permission of the rancher and they'd be kept in a paddock.

If they were loose he'd wear himself out trying to catch one!

If you have ever flown to Alaska in the summer or fall you'll see that the plane is full of people going on hunting and fishing trips. For the flight back home they are often given a large styrofoam container to bring their fish/meat back in. It is not uncommon to see a dozen or more of these things in line at checkin. The fish in them are often flash frozen and shipped in dry ice to get them home without defrosting.
