Ok. BS found his bull again. It would spoil? 40 in the day. YGBFK moi. Gut and skin and no meat loss in a month or two if its less than 30 at night. It can grow green on the outer crust and you can scrape it off with a knife. Hell, in those temps just gut and roll it over some branches for air circulation the first night. The meat temp will fall to the point you have a week or two to skin debone and pack it out
It doesn't sound as if you've tended to many elk before.

He would have had at least several days to get it out. Quartered and hanging in the shade, the meat would have kept well... But you know that. Not sure why some are so intent on believing every word of this. There are guys out there that don't know any better that might attempt some of the dumb things this guy has described on a solo trip and they just might not be so lucky.
