Another vote for Walmart, the thinest and most compact.

I've used these for years, they still look and work as new. http://www.huntergamebags.com/

I did the Wal-Mart thing, but after the Allen full body game bag wouldn't fit my spike buck I've looked for better. I've got a set of black ovis, just haven't gotten the chance to use them.

I have had really good luck with my caribou bags.

I have never used one as a full body bag.  I seem to always be quartering and/or deboning in the field.   Because of this I look at the bags as a cheap one time use item.  Sometimes I've even gone with the lightweight full body game bag and just tie a knot and cut the bag into sections for quarters. 

To me it's cheap and effective. $10 max for some bags to get the meat out of the woods.  Not worth the headache of putting them in the washing machine and risking death from the wife...

King size pillow cases from Good Will. 50 cents. Elk quarters fit right in.

Yeah I do my best to make sure there isn't any cotton in my pack...

Camofire has black ovis bags right now, $35 for 4 quarter bags, 1 meat bag, 40' flagging tape, latex gloves, small 5'x3' plastic sheet and a storage bag. 7"x7"x3" packed dimension 1.5lbs.

Sweet - I'll check it out!

I like the Caribou Gear bags the best.  Strong and easy to clean for re-use.   

Yup, caribou for me as well, I put them in my day pack so I have the meat ready to go if I have any help.  very lightweight

200 thread pillow cases from walmart. Buy 4 for $12. Hold plenty of meat and are pretty light.

I've used T.A.G. bags for the last 8 or 9 years.  They are super light weight, tough, and clean up easily.  I have the set of 5-24"x 44" and keep them in pack always.  They don't take up much room, and weigh very little.

Precisely.

Has anyone had issues with fly larva using pillow cases or any other bags? Has anyone used the spray from caribou game bags?

Of all the gear I use, game bags are the last thing I care about a name brand on. Put me down for old pillow cases or cheap Wal-Mart game bags.

[WapitiTalk1]

A tight weave on both cotton and obviously the newer synthetic bags keep flys from infiltrating.  Super cheap game bags may win you meat infected with fly larva and infection.  If you absolutely insist on lugging some of the large cottons bags in your pack, stuff them in a gallon size bag and use a vacuum sealer to compress them down. Check out the VIAM Outdoors game bags (sponsor here). They weigh nothing, super strong, tight synthetic weave, and washable.

what's the advantage of the high tech $$$ game bags over pillow cases?
