Hey Werner, bring a lunch cooler with you when you come out to Wyoming this fall. I have a few leftover packages of elk steaks you can have. That will be all the elk meat you'll take back to Iowa.
I have 3 elk tags in Wyoming as per usual, and will fill them all.
I'm slumming it with only two elk tags, albeit in one of the best units (in my opinion) in the state. Might end up holding out til December if need be...
Mr. Werner, I'm not outraged, however you seem to be about almost everything.
Are 'natives' guaranteed 3 tags? Are they 'entitled' to them (at half price)?
Asking for an actual tax-payer.

Yep, 3 licenses at resident prices. I bet we pay taxes just like you do. $143 for 3 licenses for us, how much you paying for your NR fees? Makes that elk meat kind of expensive doesn't it for NRs?
Did you draw those elk licenses you were counting on Mike?
Does any government employee (or recipient) ever really pay taxes?
We sure appreciate your concern for our finances.

Buzz doesn't have friends in real life.
Yes, I do and I help my real friends kill the chit out of elk in Wyoming.
I’ve found your cooler size needed is directly proportional to the honesty of your processor!!! I’ve needed 2 150 quarts for a few to 3/4 of a 150 quart.
Another option: You can buy a 7 cu ft freezer (210 qt) at Home Depot for about $200. Weight about 70lb. It can be powered by a small generator or maybe an inverter on your truck as you drive. Possibly use an extension cord out your motel room window at night. You can run it until it's barely above freezing and it will hold for the better part of a day. Or you can freeze the meat and thaw it later to cut it up. There are lots of options. No ice needed.

It's not over when you lose. It's over when you quit.
I have brought several processed bull elk home to Georgia in coolers. I think the 150 and one 77 qt cooler should be enough for the meat and dry ice. When you get home all worn out from the drive, it’s nice to just load the meat directly into your freezer.
Regarding CWD, Georgia now requires that the meat be “processed .” No bringing back quarters anymore.
Take a pair of cheap cotton gloves for handling dry ice. Take a small stack of newspaper to keep the ice away from the meat (the freezer paper won’t be enough). Take a roll of duct tape to seal the seam around the top of the cooler.
The insulation board (R-Max?) underneath the coolers is an idea I had not thought of. But don’t plan to buy it or anything else essential in Wyoming unless you know of a place to get it that is convenient. Buying anything out there could cost you a half a day. They don’t have a Home Depot every 40 miles like we do.
Good thoughts above about keeping the antlers out of sight.
Finally, remember that elk season in Wyoming involves cool weather for those of us from the southeast, but as soon as you leave the mountains on your return trip it will probably be warm all the way home.
Good luck on your adventure, and give us a report when you get home.

Well no gov't employee here so not sure what the heck your post means. And yes we pay taxes, well with our great CPA we get money back every year, lol.

Anyone who hunts another state just for the meat is nuts. It makes the price/lb way too expensive. You're hunting for the antlers or for the fun of it, not for the meat.
