Perfect cooler for a elk....

[MTLabrador]

That's empty. Now consider weight of a mature bull elk if you don't debone it can be around 540 and upto 240 or so deboned. I like my ribs, heart, liver, brisket, etc, so I take the bones and don't use the gutless method. Add the additional 89 for weight of the container, that is pretty heavy. Plus add weight of any ice you add.

540 quartered with the bone in? I want to see that elk.

If your traveling with a hitch rack, one of those 250 or 350 quart coolers fit nicely on them and they are easy to load and unload from a low height. Also easy access to them never having other gear in the way while on the trip.

I have such a tough time trusting one of those racks with an expensive cooler. I know they are used all the time I’m just paranoid I guess

I got one on my popup camper but I took some galvanized pipe and welded it to the frame and then the rack to it. Nice and sturdy now. I am like you, on a pickup or SUV, I do not trust hitch racks for stability on anything of value

Gonna need @Big Fin to go ahead and seal up a sponsorship deal with Yeti that includes promo codes for his loyal fans. That’s the only way I can afford one 1/4 of one of those.

@Big Fin is gonna need to sponsor up with Letourneau because your gonna need one to load it!

Until you need to drop your tailgate.

If you can afford a cooler like that you don’t drive yourself. You hop in the car and say “ let’s roll Earl. “

I think the real question is “will a Corolla fit in it?”
