Anybody here try these? I use a pack with a waist belt, but this could open up more options since it folds down so small when not in use.

If you are hunting close to the truck, it would prolly work great. I wouldnt even remotely consider using that over a half mile from the truck though. But I do have pretty good packs already. If I person was looking for an option to get away from dragging but didnt want to spend for a decent pack, that would be an option for sure.
 
Seems like they would be floppy and wouldn't ride well on rough terrain. The most useful application I can forsee for them would be on a second trip back in on a larger animal if doing it solo, but then I wonder how I would load the front and back with a quarter each and get it on my shoulders. I am slightly intrigued by then though.

Interesting idea. I know I def. prefer a pack that is tight against my frame. The terrain I hunt Elk in those would throw my balance off more than a pack does already. I could see myself injuring a knee with those. However, on flat ground they would probably work well I guess.
 
I'll stick with my stone glacier x-curve.. thanks. That thing looks like it carries very flaccid. Load shifting is something you don't want in rough terrain with a heavy load. Unsafe. I carried out a front and a hind from my elk in September at one time on my x-curve. Very snug.

Absolutely! If you've ever carried out 50+ lbs through tough terrain you know exactly why you don't want load shifting.
 
I wasn't really thinking of using it for elk like it shows in the pics. I was thinking of using something like that for a whitetail, where you could stick it in a small backpack or maybe even a fanny pack and only use it when you kill. I don't need as big of a pack as I use. I use my Alps Pathfinder only because I can pack a deer out.
 
Reminds me of long ago when I had a paper route as a kid and the front/back bag that carried the newspapers.
