This is a video covering how we made a DIY deer cooler, on the cheap, to be able to hunt and process our deer the next day or a few days later in the hot weather. You could use this to age your deer also in unstable weather as we have in Maryland.

We used two temperature controllers to trick an air conditioner to run at lower temperatures and make a cooler box. The first closes the circuit and tells the compressor to run. The second monitors the coil and opens the circuit and turns the compressor off when the coil starts to freeze up. If you have it set for the fan to run 24/7 it will de-ice the coil and still force cool air into the cooler. If the coil freezes the air conditioner will overload and trip out the breaker, if not burning it self up.
