The Caribou Gear Ultralight Small Quarter Game Bag is the go-to meat care solution for western big game hunters who pack deep into the backcountry after mule deer, antelope, and sheep. At 20" wide x 34" tall, it's sized perfectly for a mule deer quarter — large enough to fully enclose the meat, compact and light enough (3.8 oz) to carry four in your pack without noticing the weight. No pre-washing, no conditioning, no prep — pull them out of the weather-resistant locking bag and they're ready to use the moment you tag out.
Built for the Western Backcountry Hunter
When you've packed three miles into a canyon to recover a mule deer buck, meat care isn't an afterthought — it's the whole point. Caribou Gear's ultralight synthetic fabric was engineered specifically for extreme meat care in the field. It wicks moisture away from the meat surface, breathes like cotton to promote the rapid cooling that prevents spoilage, and delivers the strength and durability of a synthetic that holds up to repeated use and washing season after season.
The no-logo design isn't an aesthetic choice — it's a functional one. Silk-screened logos and attachments on game bags restrict airflow around the meat, creating warm spots that accelerate spoilage. After 21 years of development and over 50 years of hunting experience, Caribou Gear built these bags with one priority: keeping your meat in perfect condition from the kill site to the cooler, whether that's a two-hour pack-out or a two-day wilderness recovery.
Why Caribou Gear Beats Cotton Game Bags
- Breathes like cotton — wicks moisture and allows airflow to cool meat rapidly and prevent spoilage
- Stronger than cotton — synthetic construction resists tearing on rough pack-outs over rocks and brush
- No logos or attachments — unobstructed airflow around the entire bag surface for even cooling
- No pre-washing required — ready to use straight out of the package in the field
- Reusable and washable — built to last multiple seasons, not single-use
- Ultralight construction — carry a full set of four bags without meaningful pack weight
- Weather-resistant locking storage bag — keeps bags clean and dry until you need them
