I quit buying actual game bags cause they were so damn exapensive. Now I use $1.50 pillow cases and wash them.

I got some Allen game bags that are washable/reusable from big 5 for 9$. Hope they’re ok

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

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.

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. 👍

Don't mess around with walmart crap, get some caribou gear bags and be done with it.

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.
