How many game bags for boned out dall

[Farmerlentz]

Wondering how many game bags I should bring for the meat off a boned out dall sheep

 

[keller]

i used 2 large kuiu boned out bags.depends how much you eat in the field

Figure on 60 to 80 pounds of meat plus the cape and head.

I was just watching Randy Newbergs 2018 Dall Sheep episode and realized the 7 extra Large Bags I have for Moose probably are massive Overkill. Great question!!!

the moose bags are just about too much for elk.

I like three small/medium sized ones. Two for meat and one for the cape.

While you can physically fit all of the meat in one, it gives you no options to split it up with a partner, ferry loads, hanging, cleaning a game bag, etc. I learned that the hard way.

Same as YK for me. Two small, long and skinny game bags for the meat and another small one for the cape.

1/2 of a set of Tag Bag B.O.M.B Bags. 2 long skinny ones for meat and one squarish one for the cape.

Another vote for the TAG bag BOMB pack. Perfect for sheep sized critters. I take all 6 as I like to keep some of the choice cuts separate and easily accessed in the field for dinner time.

10 one gallon zip lock bags. Each one holds about 9 lbs of meat. Build a rock crib in the stream. You then place them in a stream to keep the meat cold. Some sheep hunting areas in AK don't have shrubs to hang meat in. Streams are always cold. I hunted in the eastern Wrangells.
In AK, sometimes you just have to do things different.

Anybody get the Caribou Gear Carnivore III pack? I was looking at getting that one.

I have a set of those as well and like them quite a bit. They are a little heavier and more bulky than the TAG BOMB pack. The BOMB pack is 10oz for 6 bags, Caribou's kit is 14oz for 5 bags.

The caribou bags are quite a bit more durable in my experience.

They also come with plastic bags and a sheet it said for placing meat on?

I would recommend the black ovis bags if weight doesn't matter. Mine have packed out 5 elk and are still in great shape

Trash compactor bags work great. A space blanket works great for covering meat bags layed out on rocks. Shiny side up reflects heat from sun.

That’s pretty smart

Yep, the trash bag works well for laying out meat to keep clean and then doubles as a pack liner when needed.

Assuming you're going with a guide, zero.
