I hunt whitetails and have always field dressed, dragged the whole carcass out, load it in the truck, finish the rest at home with the deer hanging. I am going to try something different this year and I am looking for some input. I have been searching the web and reading about various different bags available for packing out meat. I am most interested in an off-the-bone solution, so I do not need a large bag. So far I have come across cotton bags, synthetic bags, anti-microbial bags, pillow cases, the list goes on. I would like a bag that is reusable and has a lengthy life span. I have read that most can be soaked and then washed then hang to dry. I know there are several options, and just as many price ranges, I am just wondering if anyone has any feedback or personal experience with any of these options? Pros and cons of each? What size will I need for whitetail off-the-bone meat? I will be hiking a few miles with the meat on my back/in my pack and in early season bugs will be an issue.
Thanks in advance.
