A quick tip I use when I leave elk meat in the woods overnight.
I killed my elk right before dark this year. By the time I punched my tag and got ready to quarter him up, it was dark. It took me about 45 mins to complete.
I layed the meat across some logs to cool and then I put my hoodie near the meat to keep any critters away until morning when I returned.
I’ve done this many times over the years and have never had a problem with anything getting into the meat.
As always- your mileage may vary, but it’s worth a try.
