Hunting Tarps for Meat Care, Packouts & Field Protection
Hunting tarps built for meat care, field protection, and backcountry utility.
Caribou Gear hunting tarps are built for the work that happens after the shot: keeping meat, packs, and gear off dirt, brush, snow, mud, and wet ground. Whether you need a clean work surface, shade, light shelter, or packout support, a tarp gives you more control when field conditions are rough.
Use a hunting tarp with your game bags, rifle cover, and waterproof storage to build a cleaner, more organized field system from breakdown to the final load out.
Why a Hunting Tarp Belongs in Your Packout System
A hunting tarp is one of the most useful pieces of field gear because it solves several problems at once. It gives you a cleaner place to set meat, keeps game bags off the ground, helps protect gear from mud and snow, and creates a usable work surface when the terrain is rough.
During a long packout, small systems matter. A tarp can help separate clean meat from dirty ground, give you a place to stage quarters, and make it easier to keep packs, knives, tags, and field gear organized.
Cleaner Meat Handling
Helps keep game bags and meat loads separated from dirt, pine needles, brush, snow, and mud.

Field Notes
- Lay the tarp down before meat hits the ground whenever conditions allow.
- Use it as a clean staging area for quarters, boned-out meat, knives, tags, and game bags.
- Pair it with breathable game bags so meat stays organized and off dirt, brush, snow, or mud.
- Keep one tarp accessible during truck loads, camp work, glassing breaks, and packout transitions.
- Use the Montana Hunters Tarp when you need a larger field tarp for extended trips, camp setups, or bigger work areas.
Build a Better Field System
Start with a hunting tarp for ground protection and field organization, then build the rest of your system around meat care, weather protection, and waterproof storage.
