In May, I'm going on an archery bear hunt in Manitoba, Canada.

Will a deboned bear, with hide and skull fit in an 100 qt cooler, or will I need to bring another cooler, like a 45 or 65 qt one?\
Thanks in advance!

If you can't take the high road, occupy the high ground.

That all depends on the size of bear. Spring bear will be lighter but you never know. Id bring 2 just in case, id want the hide separated from the meat.

No free nation has ever been conquered that did not first fail from within.

bring two coolers you'll want the hide and meat separate. Not a ton of meat on a spring bear all boned out maybe around 100 pounds on a really good sized black bear.
