If you need to bag it so submerge it in a creek, don't use garbage bags. They are not food safe because of their petroleum content.

There are big food safe bags out there but I can't think of where to buy them off the top of my head. I use the pillow case style cheesecloth bags but I have never put anything underwater to cool it.

If you were to cool partially in water, it would need a place for air to escape, if the eat is still hot hot hot and sealed in a bag itll stay insulated for a little bit (especially if the water isnt super cold) and may promote some growth (just a thought).

On taht note dont out the bags in snow, same insulation effect

Keep it out of water.
Gut it and skin asap.
it we I'll cool fast .
If you are worried hit the first gas station and put a couple ice bags in the cavity. Bag and all.I've only done this If a long drive home and really hot out.
