What I'm concerned about is where I hunt in North Mo. the crops aren't picked by then ie. corn soybeans and it is very difficult to see them then and I'm in such a remote region Keeping one from spoiling for the 200 mile ride home is a problem.
I have already planned to go but I have to have an opreration so may not be able to get out. Darn my bad luck !

If it keeps raining the crops may never come out.

.358 one answer for ya, skin and quarter it right after the kill. then put it in a large cooler with plenty of ice, if kept out of direct sunlight you should be good if happens to be in sunlight stop after about 100 miles and check the ice, poor the water out and add new ice. this is what I always had to do after hunt that had a long hot drive afterwards.

I have been scouting some bean fields and have consistently seen deer coming out at about 7-730 well within shooting time. Its a great chance at a deer in velvet too.
