crank up the AC or rent a uhaul trailer
the resturant stores have those cooler bags that are big enough to hold a goat

I had to do this same thing for a huge 5 point Roosevelt last year. We quartered it of course and stuck both hindquarters in the trunk. We laid down a tarp and had the quarters in game bags. Then the front quarters went in a large cooler in the front seat along with the head. Everything was iced down big time. Honestly the hardest part was fitting the head with antlers in. Make sure your gear doesnt take up all your room because you will need plenty of it!  :tup:

My first bull elk...Geo Metro, got a nice 4 x 5 mulie and a 4 x 5 elk.  Elk was quartered, mulie was dressed and had his head in the passenger side.  It was in Montana and the weather was freezing, so I just opened the windows and wore my layers.  The hatchback was held partially closed with bungees.  Stopped at a game check station and the person behind me had to get out and take pictures.
