Never heard of them till this past elk season, my partner killed his bull and he had to use my game bags.  He gave me his when we got back to camp to use for the rest of my season.  These bags are great!  Light weight enough to bring them in the woods with me in my day pack, they give you plenty of bags in the one pack to take care of an elk and even has a plastic bag if you want to pack out meat for camp that night.  Each bag has reflective material and name tags if you need to label the meat.  Reviews are all good from what I've read.  If your looking for a good, tough, lightweight set of bags, you should check these out.  I'm buying them as soon as they get more in, I'm going to get them from sportsmans where house, cabela's is too expensive.

x2 on the vacuum seal, makes them easier to get to the field on my pack board.
Pain is temporary, achieving the goal is worth it.

I didn't say it would be easy, I said it would be worth it.

Does you get specs of meat chunks stuck to the fabric? I used a lot of pillow cases this year and this was a royal pita

None of the review's said anything bad or anything about meat sticking to the bag.  vacuum pack seems like a great idea for space, thanks!

This isn't an issue with these bags, they are a very tight weave fabric

Tags bags are also great.  Either caribou or tags are on my to get list.  I believe they are the same material.

 They are the same...

I buy the TAG Bags from Pristine Ventures, they were the first with the product.  The Caribou guys stole the idea, even the way the bags are packaged, and they were better at marketing.
Larry, the owner of Pristine Ventures is a great guy and I buy them direct from him.

I never heard of tag, and I had no idea about copying from caribou. Guess I'll buy the cheapest one if they are the same.

The Tags bags are very durable.  I believe the only difference is the little reflectors.

I purchased a set of them for this past falls hunt. Used them for packing my buck out of the woods. Somewhat disappointed with the lack of stretch while pulling the bags over the meat. I have to say for the price I paid that I'm somewhat underwhelmed.   
Can't we all just get along?

I've used my caribou bags on 1 bear 3 deer and 2 elk and they are still in as good of shape as I bought them except for some blood stain. If you take care of them they will last a long time. if your deer hunting and plan on deboning I would recommend 2 big bags no need to carrying the whole pack.
People get offended at nothing at all. So, speak your mind and be unapologetic.

I use TAGS and I love them. Probably 3-4 years many deer, antelope, a couple bear and an elk. I'd recommend either the TAGS or Caribou

Never tried the Caribou or Tag Bags. 

I've used the Alaskan Game Bags.  They are good but don't last to long. 

I make my own Game bags. Think I made 125 of them early last year.  Probably got 75 left.
