hunting just down of you i have lots of experience hunting in high temps (100 degree days).

all of the deer we (my family and i) have taken in the heat of august and early september have never spoiled. We can kill a deer saturday morning, recover and gut it out. Bring it back to camp and skin it (via vehicle or the old fashion way). clean with some water then bag it with a deer mesh bag. after that we bag it with a homemade giant bag (looks like a pillow). hang it in a tree and then come sunday morning (24hrs later) drive it home (150 miles away). No ice, no ice chest, etc. get it home, butcher it up and put it in a fridge to hang for a few days.

now to answer your question, if you cannot hang a deer to cool down (after gutting and skinning) you can do one of a couple of things:
1) de-bone the meat and hang it to cool (same process as above)
2) quarter and skin then hang to cool
3) de-bone or quarterand if you cannot hang then it will need to either get on ice or someplace to cool.

IMO, it is not necessary to get it on ice immediately. We have NEVER done that and all of the deer we have killed (atleast 6 a season on avg) have NEVER had one spoil. But, if you do hang a deer in the early season you MUST put the pillow type bag over it because if you don't then the blow flies, and other flies will lay there larvae through the mesh deer bag and spoil your meat.

Good luck this season.

Note: I remember your post last year about the nice blacky you took. if i remember right you are hunting on your land or very close to it and it was close to your house. If this is still true then i would just gut the deer, bring it back to your house and either de-bone or quarter it up and put it in the fridge.

Yep its only 2 miles via roads and that is probably what i will do....de bone and ice

Thanks guys I really appreciate it!

I find 'em and skin 'em asap. Then I put them in the cooler and let them sit for a couple of days then awayI go to quartering the deer up. Also, I tend to not wait as long to go get the deer in the early season. I give em about 30 minutes and then I am going to go after them. I may spook one one day and it get away from me, but if I leave it for two hours, I am not going to trust the meat anyways. Either way I go I could get screwed.

I'd de bone it for sure! then I would prebably fill up a big ice cooler with water and lots of ice! and just let it soak for a day or so. But make sure ice is in there at all times. Or you might have a chance of spoiled meat. The water will take out blood to and it will loosin up the outer layer of meat so you can get more hair off the meat to!

For the skin if you are having it mounted then get that in the friedge as soon as possible cause theheat is bad for the hide.

Just cut it up and put it in a coller with ice. It will stay fine on the ice for several days and it will actually soak a lot of the blood out. When we are camping and do where near a processer, this is what we do. We take it to the processor in the cooler already quartered up. That is what everyone here does and the meat will be terrific.
