Hi all,
I looked through the posts here as well as the excellent write up on Elk 101, but still had more questions about cooler sizes/dimensions.
I currently own a Coleman 120 quart Xtreme 6 that has served me well for smaller game. I'm wondering what other cooler I should add in conjunction to that to hopefully bring a bull back in September. I mention the season just because I want to ensure I have enough space for ice to keep everything cool. Meat will be in there a few days tops before I can get it to the processor.
My plan is to bone out three out of the four quarters. The fourth quarter will be in tact with evidence of sex attached. This is my way of keeping weight down to a minimum and making it extremely obvious as to what I need to dig out in case I get stopped. Looking at my current cooler, I think I can get the full (bone in) quarter in there (cooler is 34'' across diagonally at the bottom) with some room for boneless meat as well.
As a result, I'm wondering what size my second cooler should be. Thanks in advance.
