Hunt with a pack frame on and carry game bags/sheets. Shoot, tag, quarter (boneless method), get the quarters out of the sun, make your first trip out count with a loaded pack.Don't worry about 2 or 4 legged critters, it's not likely to be an issue.
Newby here with question, maybe further discussion.. I have heard people mention garbage bags. Could those be used to seal up and thus put meat in a creek if available for both cooling and lowering scent window for 4 leggers?
I was to the east Packwood lake on a ridge and in a clearing there was a complete living room furnishings! Couch,easy chair with side tables and even lamps.I can only imagine how they got up there at 5k'
I've long wished that I had kept my old delivery bags. Do they even make those anymore?

Do they even make those anymore?There's actually a company that makes camo ones just for packing out meat. They're called pack bags. I bought one from a guy off this site and it works pretty good.
I bone it out and lay the meat out anywhere I can to give it a head start cooling. Fred Meyer carries a canvas type laundry bag in their sporting goods section (I think the brand is Cooligans?) that is cheap, durable and (most importantly) light weight. The laundry bag also comes with a draw string. It is better then many of the game bags that you buy as they are far lighter in weight. They are typically a one-use type bag for me but I have used them in the backcountry and they have held up very well. I too like the leap frog method and never worry too much about leaving meat overnight in either bear or wolf country.
