RockyMountainHi said:I am a HUGE fan of the Caribou Game Bags. They are light, durable, easy to clean, and those reflectors can be seen in the dark from 75 to 100 yards away up in the trees. That feature alone was a huge plus coming back in the dark for load number 2. I have several other brands and vacuum seal them to decrease space, but they don't compare to the Caribou bags. The other "game bag" that I really like is Kifaru's Meat Bag that will hold 100 lbs of boned meat. It isn't ideal for hanging in camp, but is ideal for packing out using the boneless method and each weigh less than 1 oz. I have 3 of these and the 4 Caribou bags (Carnivore Pack), plus a yellow nylon quarter bag in pack (see photo). I can easily put a boned out bull in these bags, hang them in a tree and I carry 2 legit quarter bags in case I choose to bring the hind quarters out on the bone.

The above recomendations, I have the alaska bags as well. They are heavy and I will be moving to the caribou or TAG bags to save space and weight.

I really like the lightweight "Northern" game bags by Alaska Game Bags. I used them and the Caribou Game Bags this past fall on the same bull for comparison purposes and both bags have pluses and minuses.
Alaska Game Bag "Northern" bags - $11 for 4 of them, half the weight of the Caribou Medium Quarter Bags, compression fit, stretch to fit over end of boned quarter. Tight enough weave they do not let dirt or bugs in. Synthetic material.
Caribou Medium Quarter Bags - $52 for 4 of them, heavier than "Northern" bags, very tight weave....no bugs or dirt can get in. Drawbacks - heavier, no compression, so lots of wasted material (weight/space).
If I wanted a bag I could use over and over and I wasn't as concerned about counting ounces, and if I wasn't set on leaving quarters in, the Caribou bags are GREAT!
If I'm going deep and counting ounces, and need a reliable bag that is light and small (and inexpensive), I will carry the "Northern" bags by Alaska.
