I didn't want to hijack the other thread and did a quick search on here without success...anyone here use dry ice instead of regular ice to cool down game?
I have always used regular ice to cool down game since I don't have access to a walk-in cooler but it got me to thinking...dry ice sublimates at a rate of 5-10lbs per 24 hours. On a typical weekend hunt you'd need 25-30# max. At $1.36 (currently) per lb you're looking at $30-40 to keep deer cool in the field without all the mess of regular wet ice. Anyone done this or have reasons NOT to do this?
