Best game bags?

[Jason t]

TAG bags are a pretty different material from Caribou or Black Ovis or the Allen backcountry. Kuiu is a little different but still not the same material as TAG. I have bags from all 5 companies and prefer TAG. However TAG does not offer a 20x30 which I find is ideal for hind quarters bone in or out you need that big opening. Meat will stick to all of them but the caribou fabric is a little more coarse and will actually embed the checkerboard pattern in the meat which I think makes it stick worse. I usually carry 1 caribou or Allen 20x30 and 1 kuiu medium quarter basically same size and then 3 TAG bomb bags the bigger size I put a front deboned in each and the neck meat in the other. Then the 2 smaller tag bomb bags one for backstraps and the other for the tenderloins. This is for elk hunting. My hunting partner has the Black Ovis and I have my wife setup with the 4 Allen backcountry bags 1 TAG large bomb and a medium kuiu zip.

I'm goin on my first ever elk hunt this September. 161 rifle hunt In nevada. just to clarify what your sayin for my education.. Am I correct to assume the rear quarters go in the 2 20"×30" bags

That’s correct hind quarters with or without bone go in the 20”x30” bags then the fronts go in tag bombs and neck, backstraps and loins go in other bags whatever I happen to have with me on that hunt.

The other nice thing about the 20x30 size is you can pull a quarter off an elk and hang it to cool and slip the bag over the quarter to keep bugs off until you debone or load up for packout.

I went to wally world, Bought 10 yards of the heaviest cotton muslin they had, cut and sewed my own bags. They even have a 550 cord pull string

Not the cheapest, and definably not the lightest but for 18 years they've been working great. Just through them in a bucket of cold water to wash out the big stuff then into the washer on cold wash Bulky bedding
