any of you use/have used dry ice if holding deer/duck/fish for a few days in an ice chest?

or does it just freeze everything up solid in short order?
asking for a friend. Thanks.

If you had a No Colors knock off Yeti you wouldn't need dry ice.

In.
I’ve been considering dry in for a while now. Never used it. I’d like to know what happens if you put 1 block of dry ice under a towel and then put a quartered deer on top

Last year we froze a couple of Antelope, transferred them to a cheap Igloo 120, put about 40 pounds of dry ice on them in Rapid City, SD and it was about 2 weeks before the ice went away and they thawed out enough to process.
Some welding supply stores have dry ice in pellet form and that is what we used.

I used DI on a camping week long canoe trip once. Had the block on bottom of cooler separated with few layers of cardboard and a small towel. The food closest froze but not like rock hard froze. Also froze the bottom of the cooler to the life-jacket it was sitting on.

the deer meat wouldn't get all pale and flavorless like soaking in regular ice so what's the point???
now on the real....would it get to cold for aging purposes?

After a couple of hours, you can just use a hammer to bust off some stew meat.
Just kidding sort of,it's some very cold shite,make sure if you handle it,you use some really thick gloves. I have no doubt that it could freeze your fingers right off.
I have used it to shrink press fit steel pins,for installation. If you put a chunk in a plastic coke bottle,then screw the lid on,it will make a hell of an explosion.
I have never seen it done, but I have heard that you can freeze a frog,then drop it on concrete and it will break like glass. Has anybody ever tried this?

last week i had 240lbs of processed Nilgai meat shipped to my house.
shipped out Tuesday and arrived Thursday night around 8pm, packed in styrofoam ice chests with dry ice inside.
i unpacked everything the next morning and while all of the meat was still frozen solid, the dry ice had thawed
hope this helps

Several years ago we packed a 65qt pelican cooler with food and less than a pound of dry ice. Two days later when we got to the house in Florida, everything in the cooler was frozen solid.
Left the cooler in the garage with the dry ice still in it. Took 4 days for the dry ice to disappear.

It's weird to me how it makes water boil when you drop it in,but I guess that is just the carbon dioxide bubbling up.

I had some Omaha steaks shipped to my house with dry ice inside. The steaks were frozen solid, but there's no telling how they were initially frozen (whether flash with Nitrogen or the old fashioned freezer way).
They tasted great for what it's worth. Vacuum sealing would also help.

Omaha steaks tasting good? That's fake news!

We put capped antelope heads in a big cooler with dry ice. Worked well. Nice thing is the dry ice takes up less room than regular ice.

Bumped for update.
Am holding my buddy's 1/2 of the deer sausage, etc, we got back from Bergeron's. About 60 pounds of meat. He's out of town for 4 more days, and I'm out of freezer space, so off we go.
Meat is vacuum packed. I have it in an Igloo with 5 pounds of dry ice sitting on a towel on top of a bag of ice sitting on top of the meat. After about 2 hours, the bag of ice was one frozen monolith. I put a refrigerator thermostat in there, it's below 20 degrees. No doubt it'll freeze and hold the meat until he gets back.
Obviously dry ice won't work for field storage, food, etc., as it will freeze everything, but I'll be buying a block of dry ice next time a hurricane hits the Gulf in case the power goes out.
