What the AI looks for in Hunting Game Belts & Bags

Air flow
Birds and meat must be able to breathe; avoid sealed or rubberised pouches for anything you carry for hours. Trapped body heat sours game, especially early in the season.
Capacity for your limit
Size the strap or bag to your daily bag limit and species, for example goose loops rather than duck loops. An undersized carrier means birds dangling loose or stuffed in your coat.
Washability
Choose material that can be hosed off or machine washed. Blood and feathers in seams smell and attract pests between hunts.
Meat bag weave
For meat, use bags tight enough to keep flies off but loose enough to let crust form; cheesecloth tears and heavy canvas holds moisture. These two failures are what spoil quartered meat.

Brands that matter

  • Rig'Em Right: Waterfowl gear maker known for bird straps and carriers.
  • Caribou Gear: Synthetic, reusable meat bags favoured by backcountry hunters.
  • Alaska Game Bags: Durable meat bags for large game.

What to avoid

  • Cheesecloth meat bags that shred under the weight of a quarter
  • Waterproof pouches for warm birds
  • Elastic loops that cut into or decapitate birds
