Game Bags for Elk, Deer & Big Game
Built for clean meat care, better airflow, and serious backcountry use.
Caribou Gear game bags are designed for elk, deer, antelope, and other big game hunts where meat care matters. Lightweight, breathable, and reusable, they help protect meat from dirt, insects, and unnecessary handling while keeping your pack-out system efficient and field-ready.
Whether you pack quarters on the bone or prefer a boned-out load, these systems are built to support cleaner handling from the first cut to the final trip out.
Choose the Right Game Bag System
The best game bag setup depends on the species you hunt, how you break the animal down, and how far you expect to pack. Caribou Gear systems are built to make that choice easier, whether you need elk-sized quarter bags, deer-specific kits, or a compact boned-out setup for lighter loads and longer miles.
Elk
For elk-sized quarters and heavier pack-outs, start with systems built for larger loads and better hanging performance.
Deer & Antelope
For deer-class animals and lighter quarter sizes, use a kit sized for cleaner handling without excess bulk.
Boned-Out Loads
If your approach is built around deboned meat, choose a compact system designed for organization and efficient packing.
Hot Weather Meat Care
Breathability and airflow matter more when temperatures climb. Get meat clean, bagged, hung, and cooling as fast as possible.

Quarter bags simplify hanging and handling; boned-out sets reduce bulk for long, steep pack-outs. Choose based on terrain, distance, and your processing plan.
