Game Bag Recs

[egreen4257]

First year elk hunting have spent a lot of money on gear already, any recs for solid game bags at a decent price?

The Black Ovis Ultralight Pro game bags are on CamoFire regularly (including today) and have done just fine for me packing out multiple elk and deer.

Also, I’m sure I’ll get opinionated responses but certain bags are meant for boned out vs meat on bone. Just personal preference? Would it just be safer to get meat on bone bags since I assume they’d be larger?

I use caribou game bags. They work pretty well and are durable. I use the Wapiti meat on bone sized bags for elk, bear, caribou, deer and antelope. Bone in or not.

Better have slightly larger bags than smaller ones. You might think you will have time to debone something, but plans never survive first contact. You might shoot something late and have to quarter and hang it, bone in, until you can come pack it out later.

There's absolutely no issues with using an oversized bag for deboned meat.

I also use the caribou game bags. They are washable/reusable.

I also like caribou bags.

Bags for boneless meat are going to be more narrow to keep the meat from becoming a ball at the bottom. If you put boneless meat in a quarter bag, it will want to sink.

I would suggest you buy bone-in bags and plan to not debone in the field. The bone adds weight but provides structure for packing/hanging/moving around.

I just looked at Camofire, and on Amazon. Amazon has the elk bag set for 59.99 plus shipping (62.50 after shipping), where Camofire's sale price on them is $65.99 plus shipping (72.90 after shipping). It sort of makes the Camofire "sale" seem a bit pale.

Yeah campfire didn’t seem to be much different than what I found elsewhere I just said screw if and bought argali big game bags. With discount I had they were like 75 and free shipping.

Picked up these Orange Aglow bags on clearance and have liked them so far:

Clearance Game Bags

Orange Aglow's game bags are washable, lightweight, and durable. They're built with no seam on the bottom and reinforced seams along the sides. Unlike any other game bags on the market, our bags have handles for easy carrying and hooks for easy hanging. Reflective paracord and reflective piping...

That's often true of CamoFire...lots of items they have can be had for the same or even sometimes less money elsewhere. I just listed them because that's where I knew the bags were available...I didn't even know you could buy Black Ovis stuff on Amazon.

I have TAG, Kifaru (heavy), and gohunt brand. Personally I like the Gohunt branded ones

I didn't know either, so I checked. Wasn't trying to call anyone out, just found it curious they would undercut themselves on Amazon like that. I like their bags a lot for antelope, deer, and elk. Used Tag bags in AK for the bigger critters.

Don't tell Troy Sessions about those handles.

I use Caribou Gear Wapti boned out bags. They clean up real nicely with bleach or stain remover in the wash. Black Ovis usually has the same sales as Camofire but at a slightly cheaper price and free shipping over $50.00 I believe. And they have nice reflective tags on them.

They’re cheaper on blackovis.com and you can find coupons pretty easy

Caribou Gear bags have worked well for me

 

[Highhuntin]

Pillow cases are cheap and seem to work pretty good.

Are the caribou ones reusable? Good hooking points for hanging? Would like to get a set that will work for elk and mule deer and preferably light weight if I ever backpack hunt.

We used the caribou brand for several years, but the ones from Graksaw outshine them considerably. They seem to move moisture quickly and dry fast. Our meat last year was beautiful using them.
