Looking at purchasing a 'hunting' cooler than I can use haul a deer or bear (probably not elk as that will be quite large).

Looking for members to share their experiences with:
- BRANDS
- SIZES
- DEALS and PRICES

Is it worth the money to shell out $500 for a solid cooler that will last a lifetime? Or are the expensive coolers gimmicks, in it that they are catering to a targeted crowd and taking advantage of people and their money - you and up paying for the name tag and a decent no name cooler will do a similar job.

Hoping to be able to keep ice for 5 days or so. Research suggests nothing smaller than 65 quart.

Thanks in advance.
