Elk quarter travel storage

Postby jtaustin » 05 27, 2016 •  [Post 1]

We have a barn to hang our elk quarters in after returning to camp. They are usually nearly frozen when we head home. I'm looking for a large insulated zipper bag, maybe 4ft x 6ft x 18 in to put two elk in for travel back to Texas. Has anyone seen something like this?

Why not just use contractor bags, tie a knot, submerge in ice? Worked for me driving from Montana to the east coast.

But, they sell bags like you're looking for to Tuna Fisherman for use on boats where you can't fit a big a** fish in a cooler and have to leave it whole for weighing. Examples here:

Friend of mine used a (new) body bag once they got back to camp. If you know someone who is an EMT they could point you in the right direction.

Army Surplus. Used them in Honduras to fill with ice and keep drinks cold.
