Best Reusable Game Bags?

[Jnasa]

I’ve used the caribou game bags on many deer, elk, and a moose. Very happy with them.

I’ve tried the go hunt bags. I like their handles. I wish their elk set had a Medium bag for loose meat instead of a small.

The caribou are looser on the meat. I like that it doesn’t press contamination (hair, leaves, etc) into the meat. The GOHUNT ones taper which can be nice but does press contamination into the meat.

I’ve been impressed with how both sets have held up. Upfront cost is high but when I look at how many times they’ve been used the per use cost is cheap.

I appreciate all the well-informed advice! I put a set of the orange Caribou bags on my Christmas list.

Caribou Gear, hands down, I used several other varieties before I started using them.

I used caribou bags for a couple years and still have them but got an extra set of argali bags a couple years ago when I had more back to back tags than bags and have since bought more. The argali are my go to and the caribou sit in a box. The argali are the lightest bags I have used and as strong or stronger than the caribou. I have dragged both a time or two for one reason or another. They wash out easily as well. I would recommend either but I prefer the argali

My caribou stay in the draw unless I’m running low also argali makes one hell of a game bag I love all mine I have about 3 sets now

Argali and Caribou are probly made in the same factory. mtmuley

Possibly but pretty different material.

Possibly but pretty different material.

Very different I think argali weighs half what the caribou bags do. I’ve been pretty impressed with how well my moose kit has held up

I cut my toothbrush in half so I can use the Caribou bags. mtmuley

Caribou are bomb proof. Have used over and over and over. Recently got the Stone Glacier and they are nicer and lighter. Can’t go wrong with either.

I'm ordering an absaroka this winter at some point and plan to sneak a pack of game bags in the order. I've heard really good things about them, and your review sealed the deal for me!

I've had the Caribou elk sized ones for quite a while, they've been excellent. I also have the Argali deer MOB set, and they have also been really good. I'd go with either, although Caribou supports Fresh Tracks, and you can probably get a good price with the right promo code.

I’ve used caribou for years. I bought some forged ones this year but have yet to use them. I liked the roll top and buckle design. They’re definitely heavier than my caribou. I wanted to try the stone glacier ones but they were sold out when I was buying

I like a little mix and match. I use two of the Mystery Ranch bags in the 40 or 60 L version as they have handles and fit over the GuideLight frame cap with webbing "corners", then use Argali for the other three bags b/c they are so light. If I am chasing deer or antelope, i will go with the Argali set. It weighs 9 oz., which is great. You can also get a boned out elk in their lightweight set.
The fabrics are all pretty similar (minus the Argali) so I think it comes down more to stitch quality/durability and drawcord strength and how much use you will get out of them.

I finally switched from the cheap cotton throw away bags to argali. Used them on an elk and a deer so far and like them a lot. They are lightweight and don’t take up much space in the pack, clean up real easy, and seem like they will last a while.

another vote here for Caribou bags. Been using mine for several years and have no complaints at all. Still going strong. Packed out several deer and bear and one elk with them.

I had Kuiu game bags for years and when they gave up the ghost, I switched to king size pillow cases.

Tie a knot in the end if you want to hang them, give them to a friend without worries of getting them back, and you do not feel bad when you have to throw them away.

They wash just fine
