we used 8 of the allen, and 4 of the "realtree" brand from Walmart, which I am sure are the same thing this year.
only complaint was the small tabs they include for hanging are weak, be broke 2 sets with loaded bags, not super heavy loaded either, probably 30-40# in them.

my plan is to cut paracord, and leave in the bags. then we have cordage to hang from that is much better quality.
they were a bloody mess when they hit the washing machine, came out looking basically like new. I will be purchasing another set of the allens, or the realtrees if they have them in the local walmarts here. I did pay more the 9$ for them though, think they were over 20 on amazon  :bash:

Are they made of cloth and will cover meat? They're probably OK then.

I found some allen game bags on sale at walmart for $5, used them on my spike elk then again on my buck deer and they look like they can keep going for a while.

I run my bloody game bags with cold water and no detergent on a quick wash setting, then rewash hot on a whites setting with detergent.  I could get them whiter by adding bleach, but I'd rather they be stronger and less white.
As long as we have the habitat, we can argue forever about who gets to kill what and when.  No habitat = no game.

This is a secret don’t tell anyone else. 😉

Go to a thrift store and buy good heavy sheets in the size you want, and sew the ends to make a game bag. 👍

Use a little hydrogen peroxide instead of bleach or detergent. 
Won't harm the cloth and removes blood stains, and disinfects better than detergent.

Or get one of these.  I have one, and don't use hot water or detergent.  Saves me a lot of money.
