I bring a Foodsaver "Game Saver Deluxe" with me on every extended trip away from home. The trick is getting access to a freezer! I have access to one on my trips to Maine, but upstate NY is another story. They stay fine for a couple of days once sealed and put in a refrigerator....or just put them on ice in a cooler till you get home.
Grouse and woodcock breasts tend to get a little bit of freezer burn if kept a year in sealed bags. You can just slice the thin layer of freezer burned flesh away and the remainder if fine. Most of the time, they never last that long anyway.
