We are going Elk/Deer hunting in Colorado this fall. Here in Arkansas we can not bring back any bones from Colorado. And we will be on a tight schedule to get back home. We will hang/age the carcusthen debone it in large sections.

So we are planning to build a cooler with plywood and lined with 1/2 inch styrofoam. Its size will be 2 ft by 2 ft by 4 ft. We hope this will hold 2 elk. But we will take some large coolers with us also because we will (hopefully) have a deer also.

We might also use an old freezer if we find one.

In prior years we have laid down a tarp, one elk hide then the elk quarters, then an elk hide and put some dry ice in on the quarters and covered the whole pile with another tarp. Still very cool after 3 days on the road home. Had itcut and wrappedwhen we got home.
