I carry the following stuffed into a large VIAM Outdoors G3 bag:
4 - 20' lengths of 650 paracord
1 - Chili powder
1 - Fixed blade knife (Elk Track); 1 - Two sides diamond sharpener; 1 - Replaceable blade knive (Outdoor Edge) w/3 blades
2 - Surgical gloves
2 - Large black plastic sacks (nice to lay meat on during processing, and, to line pack with)
1 - VIAM Outdoors game bags (Hunter pack)
1 - SOG folding saw
I didn't include flagging ribbon and small bottle of spray peroxide in my kill kit list as they ride in top of my pack for quick access.
Well, what's in your wallet, errr, Kill Kit?

Why chili powder? :dunno:
It’s arguably the best thing to keep flies and other annoying insects off bloody meat.

This is very close to my list! I hunt mostly with a packboard with black Ovis bags and a contractor bag shoved in by the frame. I don't carry a saw though.

Knife, diamond sharpener, small saw, cord/rope, meat sacks...enough meat sacks. I learned to make sure I have enough meat sacks after I once had to use clothing items to wrap meat in. Rode out to get the trailer in my skivvies.
That’s awesome! I can envision boned out meat tied off in your hunting pants hanging from a branch ;). Yep, bring enough bags for sure.

Razor Pro with 3 extra blades
Flip & Zip Saw for sternum & pelvis
Kevlar glove
Shoulder gloves & 3 pair nitrile
2 large quarter and 2 smaller quarter bags with another smaller bag for heart/liver
Flagging tape
550 cord
Food bar
The above is for elk, if I'm hunting extra close to the road or for deer or antelope I'll usually bring much less. I have the above vacuum packed and strapped between my Exo frame and 2000 bag.

Game bags to accommodate the intended target. Deer get half a bomb bag kit. Spikes and cows get a full bomb kit. I'd big bulls is on the menu it's a full kit plus 2 more of their bigger bags.

I'm really surprised how many people carry rubber gloves.
They weight nothing and make clean up much easier. No brainer to me.

I use black pepper on the meat and vinegar on the hide.
Elk bags, Wyoming knife with extra blades, Razor Edge, diamond sharpener, cord, bovine exam gloves and apron. I keep a comealong and block and tackle in the truck in case the animal dies in a bad position, like a rock crevice. Unfortunately, none of this has seen much work that last few years, however..

A Few bone knifes
Game bags
Kill tarp about 10x10 (lay the quarters on)
I actually run a hand wood saw for my sawing (bigger strokes )
One thing that hasn't been mentioned that I use and is awesome is a butcher meat hook especially if your by yourself.

Quick question, you guys that carry rubber gloves, do you also carry tampons?
They are not tampons, they are manpons. Helps keep things clean down there.

LOL... I didn't for years till a guy showed me that they help with a knife not slipping out of bloody hands. He didn't whack himself but showed me the difference in grip with and without. That's my story and I'm sticking with it ;)

Outdoor edge with an extra blade or two
Kestrel Skinner
Some paracord
Caribou game bags appropriate for the size of critter
That's about it....
On thing that I don't get is putting hot quarters into contractor bags? I realize people don't want to end up with blood on their back. But unless the quarters have cooled it seems like a good way to hold in all the heat. I suppose most people aren't going far with the quarters like that, but still. I'm always worried about bone sour. I always put my quarters straight into game bags off the animal and then set them in the shade to "tack" up before putting them in my pack and I rarely get any blood seeping through.
Another thing that makes me laugh is seeing people pack out the lower leg and hoof. I always leave it on until I drop the quarter into the pack and then cut it off then because theyre easier to deal with until that point. But I just don't get packing the extra weight. :dunno:
