Packing Out a Deboned Deer from the Backcountry - Back Quiver Solution

I like to Hunt the backcountry with a back quiver, and a few of my hunting areas are in CWD  territory where you cannot transport the skeletal system and bones.   Packing out meat without a backpack, or having to make another trip to get a frame, pack, or cart was a literal pain.

Then I discovered the made in Idaho "Pack out Bags" on one of my elk hunts.  These slick Panniers for people, are lightweight, and can be packed into a cargo pocket or haversack. This leaves my back free to carry a back quiver until I kill something.  They are styled after the old newspaper delivery bags that allowed the paper-boy to carry so many rolled up newspapers on his route.

I immediately saw the possibility of packing out an entire deboned whitetail deer in one trip.  They say on their website, folks are astonished that they can usually carry twice the weight in the "pack out bags" that they could carry comfortably just on their backs.

The bags are super tough and allow you to evenly distribute the weight front and back, and the result is the ability to comfortably carry more weight over uneven or steep terrain. Made in America they are a quality item.  Hey, if it works on elk quarters, it should haul a Whitetail no problem.

Last year my brother killed a 100 pound doe in a CWD zone here in Maryland.  He was able to use the pack out bag system over his climbing Lone Wolf stand and took all of the edible meat out in one trip.  The system worked like a charm.

I carry lightweight T.A.G. Boned Out Meat Bags (BOMB) inside my belt pack, as they are also very light and small folded. The pack out bags attach with their integral strap when folded to my belt.  The folded bags are only 8 inches x 5 Inches x 3 inches.

Using the bags is pretty easy with a few tips.  Fill the meat bags evenly and hang them from a branch.

Then, you can don the "Pack out Bags" and cut the meat bags so they fall right into the front pocket.  No bending over.

Once full, twist the bag around so the empty back bag is now in the front.  Cut down the rest of the bags into the pack out bag.  Now you have an evenly distributed load, and I can carry my bow and quiver out.

Victory and smiles!
