I just found a welding supply place in colville that sells dry ice. But they only sell it in nugget/pellet form. Does anyone have experience with those?

pellets don't last as long as blocks, just like ice chips don't last as long as ice blocks.

Dry ice will freeze meat.

Dry ice turns to gas as it melts.  This will increase the pressure inside the ice chest if air tight and can cause failures (not a problem with cheap coolers as they aren't air tight).

We'll be using a fish tote to transport the meat. So It won't be air tight.

You won’t have any issues with regular ice. I’d be more co center with cooler space... just get the body heat out of the meat and you will be fine. Will be plenty cool in oct to hang the meat
As long as the meat isn’t sitting in water and your tote has a drain it won’t hurt it to have ice melting on the way home. No need to overthink it.

Find Moose, shoot Moose, clean Moose, cool meat overnight, drive home.

This plan has worked for every moose I assisted with.

Don’t store it in any place where people will be, it’ll kill you. 😉

We were unable to get it the last time we tried, I checked again yesterday and did not see the dry ice cooler in the store. But it might be worth calling to verify.

If you get the hide off, piece it out, and it cools overnight while hanging then put in coolers in the morning I would think you should get home fine.

These days I freeze a bunch of water jugs and store in the cooler.  They last for quite awhile.

Last time I bought dry ice, I actually bought it at Dairy Queen.  Not sure if there is a Dairy Queen near where you will be, or if they're still selling dry ice.  But just a thought.
