all that care and days hanging sounds great.
but what would be the best options for me, depending on what temp is of course,but i'm from michigan so after meat gets brought back to coolers and whether we peal out for home, which is bascially 2 days away from most elk country,or if doesnt go right might be in cooler from 2-4 days. then what?

I live in CO but if I shoot an animal I don't bail out on the group so it sits in the cooler for a few days just like you said. I then butcher it at home over the course of a couple days (either kept in coolers with drained ice or a fridge). Whether I shoot an animal and process it that night or a week later its all the same on my end: Pull a piece of meat out of the game bags, inspect it for hair or other stuff and remove as applicable, trim off membrane or other stuff and proceed to butcher out that piece of meat. Repeat till I've worked my way through all the game bags. This usually takes me a couple evenings if I'm back to work already. I pack and freeze what I've cut for the evening each day.

Long story short: Keep your meat cool/clean and you should be happy with it.
