And.......keep the bugs off of the meat with good, tight woven game bags (cloth or synthetic).
If you have a trophy cape get that in a cooler or you may get hair loss.

Also remember, it was touched on here already but it’s important! If your boned out meat is sitting in blood covered bags, when you get back to camp, take the meat out and spread out to circulate air and rinse that blood off the bags. I’d take the meat out at night and spread out when there are fewer bugs and cooler temps. I left my boned meat in bags before and hung them for a few days because town was a long ways away, the blood ruined some of the meat. Good bags will dry out quick!
We always do a quick field dressing and toss the heart and liver in gallon ziplocs and asap into the cooler with ice. Deer sit in the bed of the truck with the cavity open and toss ice into it asap. That's when its hot.
