i have an idea..... just don' t shoot anything until the last day of the hunt! LOL! I' m just kidding.

A deer will last a day or 2 or 3 (if you dare to take your chances) as long you hang it in the shade and as long as its below 70 degrees. Make sure you open the cavity up all the way. If you arent' going to mount it, cut all the way up the brisket with a bone saw and prop it open from the neck down. Also make sure to cut out the trachea. It is usually the first thing to go on a deer.

otherwise, invest in some good ole coolers. Quarter it w/ the skin still on. Wrap it in plastic bags and put it on ice. Leave the drain to the cooler open (you don' t want water to be soaked up by the meat unless you are dileberatly using a brine solution) and turn the meat a couple times a day. Keep the cooler in the shade also to make your ice last as long as possible.

Good luck out there.
