A meat bag would also suffice. If you cut and carry you may already have one.
Just make one....reversible !I don't think she is "WRONG" at all. First off, she was thinking that I could use it all season long so my bow isn't coming down a tree into dirt and leaves. Maybe I will have her make me two.....the second being white or snow camo.
Secondly, Tyvek from my small exposure would seem to get stiff and noisy in sub-freezing weather. Try rolling and unrolling Tyvek quietly in the woods. Gotta think big picture here.
Definitely thought about the crinkly noise but heavily discounted it due to all the racket already made crunching through the snow getting to the tree. Maybe your snow stays soft and quiet longer. If and when we get a snow, by the next sunrise it is normally good and crunchy.I don't think she is "WRONG" at all.

Yeah, our snow generally makes for very quiet walking except for very early in the snow season. Just goes to show how we all deal with differing versions of the same things as deer hunters across the country.Definitely thought about the crinkly noise but heavily discounted it due to all the racket already made crunching through the snow getting to the tree.

I definitely have a bow sling.....and my Alps Pursuit pack I sometimes use with my saddle setup has bow/firearm straps. I just didn't want to add more to my back as I was installing sticks and climbing. But it is definitely a workable option.I don’t have to deal with this often anymore, thank God, lol. When I did I would just pack the gun or bow up with me.
And don’t say you don’t have a sling either because if you have a pull-up rope you have a sling.
Ok.....so that took it up a notch. Nylon won't soak water up, folds small and should be fairly quiet. THIS may be my answer.....you folks are awesome! Great 'think tank'. Thanks!!!Double duty something like a meat tarp?
Meat Tarp
The Marsupial Gear Meat Tarp is the perfect accessory to keep you meat clean while breaking down an animal in the field. Constructed out of a durable waterproof ripstop material, the tarp serves a clean surface to lay the meat on as your are processing game animals. Blaze orange in color and...www.marsupialgear.com
Or maybe a game bag?
Yes. Tyvek becomes pretty soft once you smash it a million times.Anybody use Tyvek as a footprint? Throw it in a washer (cold water no soap) and dryer (low heat with a couple tennis balls) and wad it up a couple times, you'll eliminate a lot of that crinkliness lol, and it'll only get softer/quieter with use!
