[QUOTE="Tony Formicola, post: 1606524, member: 103851"] I plan to do the freezer on the trailer thing someday but have had good luck with the following strategy. First step is to get the meat cold. You can not expect to put warm meat in a cooler with ice and have it cool down. If it is cold enough outside you can quarter the meat and let it hand overnight to cool. The next morning bone it out and get it in a cooler. You can keep frozen jugs or dry ice in the cooler until you are ready to put your meat in. I prefer dry ice and I stop to check it and add more as needed once I am on the road. I have brought several elk from Colorado to New York like this. Once home I finish trimming cutting and packing. Last elk was shot on Tuesday. Skinned, halved and cooled overnight. Temp was in the 20's. Boned out Wednesday morning and placed in a cooler with No ice. Meet was on the verge of freezing going into cooler. Placed cooler in the shade. Left camp Thursday bought dry ice on the way. Arrived home on Saturday night. Boned elk out on Sunday. Meat was still semi-frozen. This may not be very effective in a warm weather hunt however. [/QUOTE]
