[QUOTE="iShoot17, post: 2184596, member: 33670"] A Buddy and I each bought 150qt coolers from WalMart, and then took two additional smaller camping coolers, for our trip to Pinedale, WY at the end of September last year. We each shot a bull and quartered them out. Between the four coolers, we were able to fully pack the bone in, not frozen, elk. We layered them with towels and dry ice and did not open until we got back to SW PA. Our goal was to keep them cold enough, but not freeze since we still had to butcher. We could have done it with three 150qt coolers, but we didn’t see the need to purchase a third. On the trip back, we were driving across the plains in 80 degree temperatures. The meat was perfectly fine by the time we got home and was placed into refrigerators for butchering a couple days later. Some of it was actually frozen due to being too close to the dry ice. That was over 1,800 miles of driving as reference. We did drive it straight through though. I’d highly suggest it! Cheap, reusable (home BBQs, archery deer season, etc.), and it doesn’t take up much space for storage. Shoot me a note if you want me to find out the specific cooler we got, I’ll run out to the garage and check. [/QUOTE]
