Just wanted to thank everyone who chimed in. Attached is a photo of our hunt. We got Lifetime 75qt coolers and it retained ice for more than a week. I am a big fan now. We used block ice and cubed ice combo. We did vacuum seal meat once at camp.

So many tips! I appreciate all of it. We were going to vacuum seal meat after we came to hotel. Ideally how much time should it take for quartered antelope to cool down?

South WY. Once we get to hotel, we are planning to debone, vacuum seal and keep in cooler. Hotel fridge is not enough. We got 3 Lifetime 77Qt Coolers from Walmart and other 3 we had for camping etc likes of igloo, coleman 65Qt

WY Antelope and Deer. I dont think we are ready for elk yet

No off-road vehicle. But walk is not bad. Chest freezer idea was brought up during our discussion. Not sure how will we power it. We are renting a pickup. Few more idea were Dry Ice, Frozen Salt water bottles and, of course a lot of ice bags. We are not camping.

We are going on a 5 day hunt on pretty much flat land that has no trees and shade to hang meat. No streams nearby either and we dont want to go near wildlife water source. Have you been in such situation? This is our first time on hunt like this and we really appreciate any tips or tricks for...

I did discover a small wiggle at the scope base. Screws were loose. Tightened them and mounted scope. Will test at the range next week and keep you all posted. Hope that was it. Thank you so much for your valuable input and suggestions

This is a good start. I will check all the screws. I have another scope I can try. More people I talk to and more I read, I am thinking Scope is an issue. It did slip couple of time from a shooting stick in the field but I did not think much of it at the time. Nothing is rattling though

I didnt think of this yet but the difference in temps when it was tight vs wide is probably 10F cooler when wider

I had to check my grouping when I missed the shot at deer at 125yd. Just to make sure I went back to the range and took a group of 3, all were 6" apart within each other. After chasing zero for a while, I thought I need to re-zero, hence the 25yds shots

I have Tikka T3 Lite with Millett TRS-1 4-16x50 For reloading I use Hornady GMX 130gr .270 with Hodgdon 4350 (54.3 gr) Until last month I was shooting 100yd with 0.5" group. Suddenly My group started widening, and now I cant get it tight again I thought I have a dirty gun so I cleaned it but...
