Caring for meat during a hunt

[C17loadclear]

Watched randy’s latest video with the guys shooting some grouse ( great shooting btw)for dinner that night. My question is how long will it last not being on ice? I know that temps matter but let’s say 40 in the morning and 70 for a high and you don’t go back to camp until dark.

Clean it when ya get it n cook it when ya get a fire, you'll love it n it'll love you

I know when I shot my elk it was 90 and we rushed to get it on ice. I would be concerned carrying a breasted out grouse in those temps. Sure sounds tempting to sit down and eat but I may have to take nap afterwards

The danger zone is basically 50 to 130 degrees
