[QUOTE="kcebcj, post: 633250, member: 10391"] I backpack hunted for years in the coast range in California where a average day is 75-100 degrees. I have never spent two days packing meat out but learned that plastic bags is a bad deal. Meat gets warm and the plastic bag holds it in. Here is what I would do. Once the meat is cooled and boned I would pack the meat in my pack using a cloth bag such as a pillow case. That night unpack the meat and lay it out on top of the meat sacks to stay cool all night. Repeat for the second day and get into a cool box or ice chest when you can. I have taken Blacktail skinned them out and left them hanging for a couple days before packing them out in the heat mentioned above and have never lost a deer due to heat spoilage. If you get the meat into your pack while its cool your bag becomes a insulator along with the cloth meat sack. It will stay pretty good all day. How you gonna get a Red Deer out in one trip by yourself? They are like our mule deer right? [/QUOTE]
