We've been developing game bags for about three years, trying to improve on what's already on the market. Our production run should be arriving around August 10th and they will go up for sale soon thereafter. I'll post again once they launch and provide an exclusive discount to forum members. Also if you signed up to be a field tester last year but were not chosen you can expect an email from me with a different discount code. If you tested, you will get a free set.
Here is some more information on what to expect with our game bags:
*rated to 100+ pounds. I filled the elk boneless bag with about 115 pounds of rocks and it didn't break
*stainless hooks to make hanging easier (no knots!)
*reflective piping along the edges, reflective paracord drawstring
*handles
*all bags except Elk Bone-In have 1" wider openings than the base, to make loading a little easier
*food-safe dye
*lightweight - I don't have the weights now but will provide them when we launch
We'll be offering four sets, each will include a mesh stuff sack. Prices listed are not final:
Deer Boneless: 13x27" (2x), 13x19" (1x) - each of the larger bags should fit both a boneless front and rear quarter
$39.99
Deer Bone-In: 13x27" (4x), 13x19" (1x)
$49.99
Elk Boneless: 14x33" (5x) - you can probably trim this to four bags by combining both front shoulders into one bag.
$59.99
Elk Bone-In: 26x46" (4x), 14x33" (1x)
$69.99
We'll also sell the 13x27, 14x33, and 26x46 bags individually.
Here are some recent photos of the Deer Bone-In set:

How would you compare the fabric to Black Ovis/Caribou Gear/All the rest? Is it similar, lighter, stronger, as strong, more breathable, more compactable, etc?

They look cool for sure.

I think you'll find them on par with most other bags in all categories. They're a little thicker than Argali's bags. I'll try to get a picture of the bags in a palm so you can see how compact they are, but they're small. Durable, too. I had a tester drag one behind a snowmobile and it did tear (of course), but under normal use they held up well.

Can I pre order a bone in deer set?
I'm not sure how to do pre-orders but I'll have plenty in a few weeks. I'll make a new post once they're up and give you a discount code to use. Thanks for your support!

That got a chuckle! I visualized some of the characters I knew when I lived in Montana doing something like that.
That is some harsh testing!

They are excellent bags and at a competitive price.
Sadly they are not fox proof though. I had a fox eat a hole through one and chow down half a backstrap from my colorado buck last fall. 😥

“Drug behind a snowmobile”

I told my testers to try to destroy them and that guy took it as a challenge, which I appreciated. :chuckle:

Hey David, when will they be available?
Hopefully about mid-August.

I'd be very curious what the weight is.
I just borrowed a set from a field tester and the Deer Bone-In (five bags + mesh sack) is 10.5 oz, Deer Boneless (three bags + mesh sack) is 6.3 oz. If you are really looking to save weight you could take the hooks off and save a bit more. I'll provide those weights once I make the sale announcement.

You should be able to, yes.
