I'm soliciting thoughts on the best way to care for game meat that has been quartered and won't be final cut for some time. Case in point: I'm doing a 2 week elk hunt; 1 week in WY 1 week in CO. I shot an elk in WY Sunday AM. I have it quartered, boned, meat clean (ie. No dirt), and on ice. I drain any blood/water daily. My concern is the meat sitting in a cooler for 12-14 days. I've left them for 5-6 days but never longer.
I have options. I can have it frozen or processed when I get to CO. I'd greatly prefer to cut my own meat and would like to retain that option if possible.
What have you guys done in this situation?
