I just let my deer stay on the hitch cargo hauler of the van for the duration of the drive home in 75-80* temps, till I get to the house and unload everything. Then I take it to mama n em's to show it off. If it a really big buck, like a 4-5 point, I'll strap it to the hood of the truck and cruise down the main drag of town. But if its just a doe, I just leave it on the hitch rack. I figure that being behind the exhaust helps to smoke it like I hear talk of round here
jk I'd much rather have it hanging in a walk in cooler, but if that isn't an option, its into thew ice chest with a rack under the meat to let ice drain, and packed down with ice, and tilted with the drain cracked open to let the water drain out. But I'm keeping my eyes out for a fridge that I can get cheap, to at least hang the quarters for a few days to let them age (even tho someone said its useless and a waste of time )
