The grab it 2 is really handy for carrying a bow also. It is surprising how big it really is. If you wanted to use it for elk quarters, you can attach it directly to the duplex frame and remove the bag. Or just compress the bag way down and run loads. I am a bones out meat in the bag guy though. Like said before, let it air out fiest and get dryed as much as possible. Than pack it up and carry it down. Unless of course you are a mile from the truck.
