I'm pretty sure this is a new style from Allen as well.

They will hold one boned out deer easily (I carry two for elk). They have held up very well in the backcountry and I have used them multiple times. I have gotten a tear in them and they still hold up. Typically I treat them as "one use only" but I have washed and reused them once. They are also extremely lightweight and compact, which is why I went with them in the first place rather then a pillow case or something like that.
Being made of cotton and how they are manufactured, they breath very well. When I am boneing out, I hang the meat on sticks, branches, bushes, whatever I can to get it to start to cool. When I am done, I load up the bag. When I get back to camp, I roll the bag over every few hours on a log or in the back of the truck (In Montana when it is very, very cold) and work the meat around in the bag to let it cool, I have never had any spoilage this way.
One year I couldn't find them at all in stores and Amazon was out too. Now, I have a nice stock of them and add to it every year. I think they might be cheaper at Sportsman's at least they were the last time I bought some.

BLRMan would be a better gear guide than me but for the average joe I'd hazard the Allen bags would be just fine.

Much more manageable and fit in pack pretty nice.

I'm a BOMB bag guy, but you can never have too many game bags so I ordered a set of tbese. I'll be interested to see how they are. Thanks for posting :tup:
Let us know when you get them.

I got my KUIU game bags in the other week (got them early as part of the new Giru platform). Really well designed. Especially the boned out meat bag. I think they'll be my new go to. Hard to tell until after a season of hard use however. I am impressed with the seems and the lack of a bottom seam. For those who pack out on a Stone Glacier or other meat shelf type pack, the sides are orange for a little high vis with antlers on your pack. I think they will be a big hit after this season.
I just ordered a few of these as well, I'm excited to get them bloody.

I'm still pretty new. What sizes and quantity bags should someone get for deer, bear and elk? Thanks

Vacumed 4 full size Alaskan game bags.I do this too works great. I just carry them in my pack when I hunt. I can fit an elk in about 4 bags.
Much more manageable and fit in pack pretty nice.

I vac-pack game bags as well. Throw the bag into the pack at the start of season, and just leave it there until needed.

It depends on if you're boning the meat out or quartering. You can get away with smaller bags if boning. I usually quarter unless I'm really deep and have a tough hike ahead of me.
For deer you can pretty much do it with two medium bags and 2 small bags (note: i'm an organization freak, 1 rear/1 front quarter per medium bag, 1 small bag for backstraps/tenderloins, 1 small bag for scrap). 2 large bags and a medium would work fine too.
For elk, 2 large and 2 medium bags would do you just fine I think.
I ordered 2 smalls, 2 mediums, 2 larges so I will pretty much be covered for all circumstances.
