Title: Synthetic game bags-which ones do you use?
Post by: jmscon on April 06, 2019, 10:40:27 AM: Thinking of getting some synthetic game bags. I have been using the Alaska bags but looking for something more bug resistant.
Looking at T.A.G. Bags but wondering what else you all have used and what you like.
Thanks!

Post by: grundy53 on April 06, 2019, 10:44:25 AM: I have T.A.G bags and Black Ovis's version. I like them a lot. They are pretty much the same. So couldn't say one is better than the other.

Post by: kselkhunter on April 06, 2019, 10:57:50 AM: I use both the Caribou Gear and Allen Backcountry bags. Both wash up nicely after use. Haven't had to replace one yet.

Post by: Stein on April 06, 2019, 06:25:05 PM: I’ve used Ovis and Caribou and they are slightly different sized but both work awesome.

Go to home depot and buy 2 cloth painters tarps. Cut them and half, then fold each half in half, stitch up the two sides. Cheap easy and extremely durable and bug proof. Wash up just fine and big enough for an elk quarter or a half of a deer....

Post by: NRA4LIFE on April 06, 2019, 08:10:41 PM: The Allen's are trash. I bought 4 of them for my moose hunt a couple years ago and 2 of them tore to pieces trying to put quarters in them. I like Alaska.

Post by: JoeE on April 06, 2019, 08:18:43 PM: I’ve had two sets of TAG bags tear on me. I switched to Caribou Gear bags and I like them much better.

Title: Re: Synthetic game bags-which ones do you use?
Post by: carlyoungs on April 06, 2019, 08:31:51 PM: I have used the black ovis xl bags for about 3 years now. Probably about 6 animals through them and they are great. Got them off camofire.

Post by: KB88 on April 06, 2019, 09:20:32 PM: I run black Ovis and am super pleased... way better than my first hunts 12+ years ago when I was 18 and all I had was pillow cases and Allen bags
Title: Re: Synthetic game bags-which ones do you use?
Post by: riverrun on April 06, 2019, 10:06:00 PM: Another vote for Black Ovis game bags! They have worked out great!
Title: Re: Synthetic game bags-which ones do you use?
Post by: slavenoid on April 07, 2019, 07:46:57 AM: Im guessing all the synthetic bags are similar. I may never know because these Caribou bags seem to last forever. I roll my eyes when people say pillow cases and cotton bags work as good as synthetic bags for much cheaper. I can't think of a better investment when it comes to hunting gear than good synthetic game bags.

Post by: Magnum_Willys on April 07, 2019, 05:48:22 PM: Whats difference from Allen Bag to Black Orvis? Like Allens for back country .
Title: Re: Synthetic game bags-which ones do you use?
Post by: Matth on April 09, 2019, 08:15:10 AM: I'm running Caribou, and have been for about 3 years now. They seem to be holding up great.

Post by: jmscon on April 09, 2019, 09:10:01 PM: Thanks for the responses!
Never heard of camofire before, looks a little dangerous to impulse buyers like myself!

It is. I have to force myself not to go on there. Check out black ovis. It's the same company but it's actually an online store. Less impulsive. Lol

Post by: 7mmfan on May 24, 2019, 02:32:48 PM: Guess I'm the only one here with Kuiu bags. I've had them 4 years now and packed multiple animals every year. They have held up remarkably well. I love that I can pack meat to camp, switch them to heavier canvas bags or cooler or whatever, and basically just rinse out the synthetic bags. Hang overnight and they're ready to rock and roll again the next day.

Post by: jackelope on May 24, 2019, 03:11:05 PM: I have the Caribou bags and the Allen bags. Also have a couple of the kifaru meat bags. I like them all. The caribou bags seem like better quality bags and the Kifaru bags serve a different purpose I think.

This.

They're free and work great.

No need to rinse and re-sue because...... they're free.

Post by: bracer40 on May 24, 2019, 11:02:30 PM: Started using the synthetic bags (Caribou) a few years ago. They’re great! Especially when you consider its definitely in the realm of possibility that one could carry those empty bags around for 5, 7,9,10 days in a row+without ever using them! That’s under a # times how many miles/day compared to the heavier duty canvas ones I used to sport😏
