Keeping a bear from spoiling in the spring. No freezer or cooler

[Butcherbill]

Ya, Im thinking coolers and quartered bear is the way im going to go. I have access to one huge cooler and several "normal" sized big coolers.

Im not after a big bear. Anything thats not a cub will do for me size wise, being that it will be my first bear.

Thanks all for the advice

The big white Coleman marine coolers can easily fit a big deer that’s been quartered with room to spare, a med sized bear wouor be no different. I fit my big WT bucks 4 quarters plus ribs, 4 frozen 2L and still had space left. Great coolers, I’m going to buy another this year.

I have never personally tried this but what about bringing along a CO2 fire extinguisher and make fresh dry ice on demand.
That way if you recover/harvest your bear in late evening you can make some fresh ice to keep meat from spoiling.
I don't believe there is an issue of CO2 for foods, many desserts are made using dry ice.
It doesn't melt like water ice. Dry ice turns into a gas as it dissipates, no liquid mess.
No need to make ice or buy every trip. Less space and weight too.
