[QUOTE="bigngreen, post: 1704626, member: 13632"] Sounds like you soured it, you were fine till the garbage bags and cooler, that smell that makes you just choke up is soured, a strong smelling animal you can't smell just cutting unless it's soured for some reason. I inspect the glands usually if an animal is very smelly right at boning and get my tag refunded because it's fevered for some reason but you'll know the second your boning it out in the field. Until the animal is at ambient temp you need air flow more than cool, any good game bag will still allow air flow while wicking and cooling the meat, garbage bags are death on meat especially elk!!! That warm your best to hang it in a bag and get air flow around it till you can cover it in ice and cool it fast. The next worst thing for souring elk is a truck topper! [/QUOTE]
