Title: Are you looking for a good game bag? Caribou game bags, very nice.
Post by: trophyhunt on December 28, 2014, 01:14:00 PM: Never heard of them till this past elk season, my partner killed his bull and he had to use my game bags. He gave me his when we got back to camp to use for the rest of my season. These bags are great! Light weight enough to bring them in the woods with me in my day pack, they give you plenty of bags in the one pack to take care of an elk and even has a plastic bag if you want to pack out meat for camp that night. Each bag has reflective material and name tags if you need to label the meat. Reviews are all good from what I've read. If your looking for a good, tough, lightweight set of bags, you should check these out. I'm buying them as soon as they get more in, I'm going to get them from sportsmans where house, cabela's is too expensive.

x2 on the vacuum seal, makes them easier to get to the field on my pack board.

Post by: trophyhunt on December 28, 2014, 02:17:08 PM: None of the review's said anything bad or anything about meat sticking to the bag. vacuum pack seems like a great idea for space, thanks!

This isn't an issue with these bags, they are a very tight weave fabric

One run in the washer an your good to go

They are the same...

I buy the TAG Bags from Pristine Ventures, they were the first with the product. The Caribou guys stole the idea, even the way the bags are packaged, and they were better at marketing.
Larry, the owner of Pristine Ventures is a great guy and I buy them direct from him.

:yeah: I own Tag and have no desire to support Caribou.

Post by: L8NITE on December 28, 2014, 06:22:09 PM: Thanks for the review and info...just curious what size you guys purchased for elk?

Post by: kentrek on December 28, 2014, 06:43:20 PM: I got the bone in elk bags

Works pretty good for a boned out mature bull

Post by: trophyhunt on December 28, 2014, 07:10:29 PM: I never heard of tag, and I had no idea about copying from caribou. Guess I'll buy the cheapest one if they are the same.

Post by: BULLBLASTER on December 28, 2014, 08:43:03 PM: I got a couple caribou bags this year. They did great with my moose!

Post by: Tbar on December 28, 2014, 08:58:32 PM: The Tags bags are very durable. I believe the only difference is the little reflectors.

Post by: elksnout on December 29, 2014, 07:53:43 PM: I purchased a set of them for this past falls hunt. Used them for packing my buck out of the woods. Somewhat disappointed with the lack of stretch while pulling the bags over the meat. I have to say for the price I paid that I'm somewhat underwhelmed.

Post by: X-Force on December 29, 2014, 08:39:15 PM: I've used my caribou bags on 1 bear 3 deer and 2 elk and they are still in as good of shape as I bought them except for some blood stain. If you take care of them they will last a long time. if your deer hunting and plan on deboning I would recommend 2 big bags no need to carrying the whole pack.

Post by: Gutpile on December 30, 2014, 06:14:56 PM: I use TAGS and I love them. Probably 3-4 years many deer, antelope, a couple bear and an elk. I'd recommend either the TAGS or Caribou

Post by: trophyhunt on January 01, 2015, 06:12:58 PM: Found them at the sportsman's wherehouse in Puyallup today, they had 2 on the shelf. One left.

Post by: Michelle_Nelson on January 01, 2015, 07:03:45 PM: Never tried the Caribou or Tag Bags.

I've used the Alaskan Game Bags. They are good but don't last to long.

I make my own Game bags. Think I made 125 of them early last year. Probably got 75 left.
