Boned out processing question

I would never, ever take ice like that before a hunt.  That's like taking a net with you when you go fishing, or bananas on a boat.  You just don't do that sort of thing, ever.   

LOL
I usually take my largest cooler(80qt)Coleman with just block ice in it just in case. The times I've had to fill a cooler w/meat, I put some small limbs or boards across the bottom of the cooler to create a space for drainage and leave the drain port open like mentioned above.
You can also drive into the nearest town  and locate a cold storage or a walk in cooler like we did last year in Conconully. They let us put our meat coolers in their walk in coller. Nothing melted for a week.
Planning(like you're doin)and knowing where to locate the rest of the stuff you might need in the nearest town can save you some headaches.

Can you use dry ice?

Bag your meat in game bags. Hang under trees in a low bottom, tarp over the meat to keep dry. If it's down in the 30's at night you can go 4 days like that. I hung a deer under a tree whole and tarpped, it was in the 30's at night and low 70's by day. Cut him up on day 4, meat was just fine. I do it all the time.
