Moving a buffalo
I'm trying to figure out the logisitics of harvesting a buffalo this fall. Of greatest concern is getting the meat to a packing house. The buffalo are about 650 miles away from me while the packing house is about 70 miles distant and on the same route. Although the temps get a bit cooler here in the SW in the winter it is not nearly so cold that you can just leave meat out and expect it to be ok. I am thinking to go there, shoot a bull late in the afternoon and then get on the road very early in the morning to arrive at the packing house at mid-afternoon. Not sure though how best to transport the meat/carcass. Should I just quarter the thing and then try to wrap it in a tarp with ice in the back of a pick-up or is there a better solution. I could have it cut and wrapped at the location but then I would have to hang-out for a week and still figure out how to move the now frozen meat.
