I don't reccommend ice in the body cavity. I know a fellow here in Montana that shot a moose and loaded the body cavity with ice, it spoiled. Ice blocked the heat from escaping. Bigger animals dissipate heat more slowly, but that cavity should remain open and unobstructed. Skinning it to aid in the heat release helps to, just make sure you put some fly proof net bags on it.
