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. 👍

I've been doing this for 3 years now. I buy and cut to desired length and have mom in law sew them up for me. Work awesome. :tup:

 :yeah:


They stay in the truck or at camp.  I'm not packing bed sheets in very far  :chuckle:     Be good to have a set to transfer meat into once you got it packed out.

I don't use bed sheets. Theres a thin light fabric that feels like silk but is very strong that I use. Its light and very breathable. I've got probably 2 dozen spread out from truck, to pack and home all cut and sewed to my specifications.

They've held thru elk, goat, sheep and bison without ripping.

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

Been three elk and two bears run through mine this year alone. Only ones I’ll use and continue to use them. Nice and white still. Oxy clean scrub with the hose, then washing machine with bleach. Back in the pack they go. Fourth year on em also.

Yeah I use to use cotton, but the synthetic stuff is way better.

:yeah:  I keep a pillow case for the heart and liver, when I am elk hunting and two big game bags.  Deer hunting I carry one big game bag and debone the meat.  On a good year of packing I have used a pillow case to put meat in if I am out of game bags.
Pain is temporary, achieving the goal is worth it.

I didn't say it would be easy, I said it would be worth it.

I generally go with the most expensive 1,800 count Egyptian cotton sheets money can buy to make sure I have a luxurious and blissfully comfortable pack out.

Winner!
As long as we have the habitat, we can argue forever about who gets to kill what and when.  No habitat = no game.

I like T.A.G bags. Just ordered some Caribou bags after I had to sacrifice a couple T.A.G bags...

This is what my hunting buddy uses. they make the extra long ones and they work great for deer quarters. Probably even a  elk quarter

Wow I didn't realize that this was actually a thing. I posted that I bought some from Wally world but usually I use cheap bed sheets to wrap them and I've never had a problem. I guess to each their own but it's whatever I find that works for me. I'm not that picky... Sometimes I use nothing when it's late enough in the year and I let my meat hang 4-7 days depending... Only found eggs once I believe in the tallow layers along the stomach opening...
