[QUOTE="tony d willIiams, post: 3086403, member: 108777"] Wow, thank you. Any plan must be made for conditions, packing, notifying friends, relatives, and the exit plans. Especially if the freezer is about to get stuffed. So many plan everything except how do I get my meat home safely and still good. [I]Your post should be read by just about everybody.[/I] The only thing I do differently, I have a large cooler. 3"~4" of dry ice placed on top of cardboard. Regular ice on top of that. If I do not get meat, I still have dry ice for a week or two. Okay, two things, I have a vacuum packer, small, but I can "stitch" pieces together to make wider than 20" sections to protect meat from freezer burn and oxidation. Extra weight in my truck, rope, block and tackle on back to try and get beast in air. One area I used to hunt, Wrightwood, California, had smart black bears. They heard the shot and came by. Sometimes they would argue who the dead animal belonged to. Other times, what you did not pack out, they took and buried it. Was always happy when black Bear crossed into the my other hunts. [/QUOTE]
