taking care of meat

hoyt5199:
Going on a week long backcountry hunt in a couple weeks and was wondering the best way to take care of the meat. We will have a base camp so we will have access to cooler and ice. My question is if I bag a bear in the beginning of the week and we don't get another until the end will it be okay to have it boned out and on ice for a few days or should we try to get it to a processor? Any thoughts or Ideas would be great.

billythekidrock:
The sooner it is frozen or processed the better. A couple days on ice is ok, but I would not plan on leaving a bear on ice for more than that.

ICEMAN:
Drive it down to a cooler, hang it, then go hunt more.

boneaddict:
I always break camp and get it taken care of.  By the time I get it packed out (I seem to never shoot one by a road) time is already an issue.

Whitpirate:
With bear you can't get it processed fast enough.  Get it down to a hanging cooler at least as quickly as possible.
