Good question. But get that meat cooled down ASAP. I do a lot of solo hunting and sept can be tough to get an elk or deer out in time solo. I've passed on shots for that reason and no need in ruining meat and killing yourself in trying to get it out. Its not easy when your in the bottom of a coulee by yourself when its 80-90 degrees with a downed animal. Plan ahead. Sometimes you got to ask yourself, how hard do you want to work in bringing this animal out and can you do it on time? Mountain or creek runoffs can cool it down when in trouble. Good luck.
