Game Bags

Might have to go this route. Keep me stocked for a while.

For an elk hind quarter, bone in, you need a pretty big pillow case.  Not sure if a king size pillow case will work.

[Reidus]

True that! Haven't found a good reason to leave the bone in though. Meat cools faster and a lot less weight to pack

I've had different two sets of TAG moose bags blow out on me in the last four years. I now have KUIU bags and caribou bags and I have had no problems with them.

yeah the Tag bags are light but too think and will tear and blow out.  Ive been using Alaska game bags, they are ok but fly will still blow on them which is why maybe a homemade pillow case would be a better option.  If I only knew how to sew.

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

You can't get hats and truck decals to match pillow cases. And it's much more impressive to tell people you're using kuiu products instead of Wal-Mart.

Aint nuthin wrong with pillow cases.  I would be leery of cheap game bags as flies will blow on them quickly.

Could care less about the name but have picked/cut blow out of my meat and won't do that again. Bought my Caribou bags years ago and have not had any blow on my meat since. Money well spent imo. Why cheap out on meat care?

   if I can cut a few ounces, take better care of my meat, and re use the bags?? No brainer for me.  My wife doesn't mind a little blood hitting the washing machine.  she knows and supports who she married.

Yes sir... game bags are like any piece of gear you put in your elk hunting toolbox.  You get what you pay for.

I don't put cotton on my animals for the same reason I don't put it on me, it doesn't breathe and once it gets wet it tends to stay wet.  The highest quality game bags aren't even that expensive when you think about how many years you will get and how much money you spent to get the animal on the ground.

There are also drastically different conditions from 90 above to below zero.  The colder temps are much easier to deal with, but you really need to have a plan if you get an animal down on an 80 degree day a ways from the truck.
