    I have done the store in a dry bag in the creek for 7 days in the full heat of summer and it was great eating, let it hang in a pillow slip for a bit first though to let it "skin off" before sinking it in the creek under rocks.... Right beside the beer chiller Dam (one of the few chopper trips I have taken, dont carry in beer)

    As above, Once it has a 'skin' on you're away laughing.

    Last year we sadly lost four deer and three pigs at the end of summer. It was humid and the breeze kept the meat damp(all hung and cooled in a meat safe in the shade and open to the wind). devistating. Had to biff it all including one of the fattest sows we ever caught. When it's that humid, I don't think there's anyway to keep meat good for more than a couple of days(maybe underwater if you're near a river.
