Game Bag

[the blur]

I'm doing a guided Elk hunt.  They recommend bringing game bags.   Are they really that much thicker than good garbage bags??

Aren't game bags meshed to allow the meat to breathe and not spoil?

thats the mesh type game bag. i like the heavy pillow case type better.  they don't rip as easy as the mesh ones.

where are you going and who are you hunting with? archery? rifle? mzloader?

Why would YOU have to bring game bags on a guided hunt?  I'd think the outfitter should provide them; bag the quarters then hand them to a processor.  When the elk is processed the outfitter would get the bags back and wash them for the next hunt. 

 

I could see if it was a self guided hunt.................but guided?

 

Oh well, good luck and I wanna see pics!!

I would wonder why I had to bring anything other than myself and my rifle to a paid hunt.

 

But to stay on topic I would just go to wal-mart and see if they had any of the remington game bags. They have them at the wal-mart near me for a few bucks so you might get lucky.

 

But hey good luck on your hunt.

I've used pillow cases a few times on antelope and deer.  You can get a couple qtrs. in a single case............an elk would need to be boned.

 

Good bags have ties on them and can be hung easily from a tree to cool, pillow cases take a bit more effort but can be hung too.
