game bags??

[Fishaholic]

Can you use cotton pillow cases? Or are the big game bags you can buy work better? I seen some that were almost like burlap. What do you guys use?
Thanks

I would avoid cotton anything for hunting. You'll be much better off with a synthetic type of game bag. Take a look at T.A.G. bags and Caribou game bags. Both websites explain why very well.

Pillow cases are fantastic, I wash them out at the end of season they can be reused for years.  Best of all they aren't ten bucks a bag like the fancy bags they sell at local stores.

Ive used bed sheets to wrap up whole deer so i would think pillow cases would work well. I will be looking into the reasoning about not using cotton for game bags though. I might learn something new.

Pillow caeses work great!

I use heavy duty contractor grade plastic garbage bags.  A lot less messy!

I have never heard about an issue with cotton until now I have used pillow sacks for years to pack out game, and have never had an issue.

Save yourself a lot of trouble and sweat and just pack a frying pan with you when you hunt.  You whack a big buck, just cook him up right there and chow down...now packing!

Somebody has cotton clothing confused with cotton game bags.  Cotton clothing = Bad.  Cotton game bags = fine.  I think that the majority of game bags on the market are made of cotton.  We have used cotton pillow cases for years without an problems what so ever.

Especially if you are hunting in a Weyco clear cut.  It is easier to eat it on the spot than dragging it over all the debris.

A buddy and I each got our elk within 2 minutes of each other one year.  Not enough game bags to go around.  Extra clean t-shirts in a pack= best tasting of the 2 elk.  Good clean cotton worked well that day.

I've used sheets and pillow cases for years.  I like sheets for wrapping quarters and pillow cases for loose meat.
Should not use plastic bags because it keeps the heat in.
