As far as Ice chests go Igloo or Coleman 120 quarts are my favorites you can get 2 or 3 deer depending on size in one of those. as far as ice to age the meat I like bag ice it surrounds the meat better and I think keeps it better. for going to and from the hunt I like to use plastic milk jugs filled 3/4 with water and kept in game freezer till its time to go they will usually last the weekend and keep your kill cool till you get home. So jugs for trastport and bags for ageing. You know me I got to make it complicated..............................................Cull

If the freezer is full of milk jugs and soda bottles, Thats a good thing also........... ITS HUNTIN TIME !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!.......................................................Cull
