I have a story I'll post in the coming week. But, Thursday morning I shot and killed an Elk. Got the meat de-boned and into hanging game bags, then down the mountain, into trash bags, and then into coolers submerged in ice which is where it still is now that I'm home on the other side of the country (It was 80 degrees by the time I finished packing it out, so didn't want to let it hang longer). Started processing at 8AM - last load in the cooler was 3PM.
My plan - take everything out of the trash bags, switch to new, clean game bags, then back in the coolers. I will have ice on the bottom, then a trash bag, then a towel, then meat in game bags.
Any thoughts? Good / bad? How long do I have to get it butchered and frozen? I'll probably be worried until I get it vacuum wrapped and frozen solid...
Thanks!
