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

Are you hunting the wet side?
Rifle?
If so, are you packing in?
If not packing in, and on the wet side general, I would not bag anything until back at the truck except back strap and tenderloins. The rest gets carried out in quarters, to be cut later.
On the west side, I am rarely more then a couple miles from my vehicle. I use to carry a couple of king size cotton pillow cases. Now I use Hefty stretch large trash bags (black ones). They are allot lighter then pillow cases in the pack.
Heat is not an issue. By the time I have things quartered out, everything is close to ambient temperature anyway. If I was going to bag the quarters, I would use the Hefty bags. Heat has never been an issue.
For deer in the Methow during general rifle, hang it, skin it, and I bag it with "elk size" cotton game bags.

I thought all hunters from the West side re-used plastic grocery bags.  Since they live a more green life then the East siders.

I have old cotton grain sacks and canvas game bags they work great, but we use them to get the meat to camp and/or home.  If it hangs outside, we use cheese cloth, but I've never had a reason to have meat in a game bag for more than 24 hours, never had a problem.

Pillow cases and/or sheets are the way to go.
One time I got an elk and found myself without bags  . I went to the local 'everything' store (which only exists outside of evil cities) and looked first at the price of game bags which were  in price. Then walked over to the cotton pillow cases and picked up two packages.
The lady at the checkout looked at me (all dressed in camo) and then looked at the pillow cases. I told her they were better and much cheaper than the game bags and they can be used for many years to come. Her reply: very wise! Ya, well,...I'm a hunter and trapper. It goes with the trade.

Anyone have an idea how long it takes to get the TAG. Bags? There Weren't multiple shipping options.
