If you have just a 40qt or so cooler thats plenty. Dont leave a bunch of leg bone on. It takes maybe 5 or 10 extra minutes to bone out the rear quarters while hanging and saves a ton of cooler space. It also ices down more thoroughly and cools the meat faster to debone.

I keep a box of heavy duty garbage bags in my truck for this very thing. I quarter the deer up and put them in the garbage bags. I carry a cooler with drinks and ice all season in the bed of my truck. I put the deer in garbage bags because I don't want the blood getting all over my drinks. Works very well for me.

I watched one today with a Dr. doing it..probably a vet. Not sure but he did a really good job.
I have a big cooler..best bet is it is 40qt. Can't find any markings on it.
So I guess hanging it and letting it "age" is out if the question. I forgot I still have to skin it before I can quarter it.
I'm guessing aging is better for extremely cold climates?

I clean and quarter mine on the ground. Cut legs off at joints spray off with hose and toss it in the cooler and ice it down. Once you get it figured out it can be done in 20mins. I keep ice for about a week then fire up the grinder.
