I purchased 2 sets of these 10 years ago and have used them every year since, they work great and look brand new even after being used A LOT. http://www.huntergamebags.com/ELK-QUARTER-BAGS-4-PACK-GBE-4L.htm  A one time investment and no need to sew or worry about what you are going to use each year, highly recommended. :tup:
Thanks Rob, just ordered mine.  I'm tired of buying cheap bags every year.
Wash them when they show up before you use them, you will love them, the best bags I have ever used.
The things that come to those who wait, may be the things left by those who got there first!

Hey, thanks for the replies guys! Some good looking stuff out there. I like Ridgeratt's bags...look pretty heavy duty.
For Pete's sake...pick up your feet, man!

Thank you! I had a person at work who thought he wanted a set. I gave him the material break down and he felt he could get them done for less. I loaned him a bag as a pattern so he could have a show and tell.
When he took it the the guy to sew the webbing that has close to 12 yards in each bag. The guy figured it out as stitches per inch and he was quoted around 125.00 just to sew (per bag) them less material.
Some of the stitches are through 4 layers of webbing so it might not work on Momma's Prize singer.

I have used pillow cases for years, and have never had a problem.  They don't tear, and go right in the wash machine when I get home.  They are easy, and cheap no need to buy a fancy bag.

Pillow cases for me too. I keep a sheet in my pack and put it on the ground for a clean working surface when boning out a deer. The meat goes on the sheet until I'm done, then I use the pillow case like a liner for my pack and load it up with meat.
