I keep elk and deer up to 14 days in 120 qt coolers without problems. Similar to Baker5150, I use a couple plastic soda racks upside down in the cooler to keep the meat elevated above the ice. With one end cut off from the end of one of them, I can pour ice down the side of the cooler into the bottom although sometime I just pour it over the meat and let it drain as well.
