Reviews
All three of my packages that I received were an excellent condition
"I'm writing one review for everything that I purchased. I got the small and the large. Hunters tarp they were both gifts so I have no idea. All I know is that my grandson was excited to get it. His dad's gonna help him with it and my boyfriend got the larger one for his trip to Alaska this year I got the rifle shield cover for him for his birthday also and that's all I can tell you both of them loved all three of the gifts Thank you very much. I received the package in a timely fashion very timely, but I am not writing a review for every single individual product."
"Haven’t used it yet and it looks like it will work great. Ive used their game bags for years and a great product."
Must have!
"I like the additional size of this tarp and come in very handy when needed for shelter purposes when hunting with additional people. Also makes it easy to lay out an entire elk at one time with the bigger size but still is minimal in weight and takes up very little room in my pack!"
Nice Tarp
"Im looking forward to using it on backpack hunts. Its light for its size. Comes with 4 stakes and cordage, nice little setup. The true test is out in the field. For the price you could add 4 more stakes though. 4 might be minimalist, but lets be realistic, its needs more stakes. Thats my only complaint. Nice product, time for mother nature to be nasty to it and find some critters"
Another awesome product from Caribou.
"Another awesome product from Caribou. Made a great sunshade on a very warm elk hunt. Durable and lightweight."
This thing is awesome
"Great piece of gear. Been looking for something like this for a long time. Well built."
Hunter’s Tarp
"The Hunter’s Tarp is one of the best items you can have in your pack. It weights nothing, it allows you to keep your meat clean and fresh, you always have a cover in case of emergency. A simple very effective piece of gear👍"
Q&A
- Is the Montana just a larger version of the other Hunters Tarp? Just curious if it’ll hold up to being a ground tarp for meat care also, or if it’s primarily for shelter purposes?
- Hey Jacob, yes the Montana Tarp is just as durable and will hold up to processing an animal just like the smaller Colorado Tarp.
