Cooling game is number 1 in my books but its only been the last 10 years that I quarter and debone as sold as I can, yours is going to be just fine.

I have hung deer, hide on, for longer than 2 days in those temps and as long as there is good air circulation me thinks it should be just fine.
Pics!
Bumping an old thread.
Currently hanging a deer sideways from my headache rack.
4 celsius all day
Gutted, skinned, game bag immediately
6 celsius currently. Going to 7 or 8 tomorrow.
Top and sides tarped
My question is about ice. I've got 3 bags in the game bag with it, but I don't think it'll dry with the melting ice.
Ditch the ice, or leave the ice? Hoping it'll last a couple days till we go home. Any opinions would be appreciated.

When in doubt, just pin it.
I would ditch the ice. You don't want the meat to be wet. just cool. The current temps are fine as long as it has a bit of air around it. I think with the rain that we are now having it is tougher for it to skin over though.
If we’re in the bush and it turns warm, we try to hang it in the shade then light a smoky fire to keep the flies off
Should be good. I got a buck on day 3 of a 5 day hunt and had the deer hanging in the pouring rain for 2 days. Meat was fine when I got home and got him in the freezer.
It’s amazing, even when its frosty at night( best thing you can get for hanging game), the sun comes out and flies appear..we just find a smoky fire holds them off
