I have 8 roos that have been on ice in a cooler since they were butchered Friday (approx. 72 hours). I've drained the ice water and blood from the bottom of the cooler twice and replaced the ice, and they're staying very cold. Should I put them in zip bags and put them directly into the freezer? Should I soak in saltwater in the fridge before long-term freezing? Anything else I should know before storing and/or cooking them? Thanks so much.
 
If they were mine I'd go ahead and freeze them; they have had plenty of resting time and should be tender. The brining is a personal choice; it does make them saltier. You could also soak them in salt water or any of a number of spices after you defrost them, prior to cooking.
