These are approximate liner volumes:
Hope this helps
- Ghillie Roe Sack = 21Ltr
- Sika Sack = 25Ltr

Perfect, thanks Rob! Smaller than I perhaps expected in litres but I guess they’re basically a Tardis for deer

Hose and dry.
Must admit mine lives in one of those football boot draw string bags as you can never get it fully clean.
The outer cordura part of the sacks has a webbing loop at the bottom, so when the liner in the sack needs washing out you just then hang the sack upside down by the loop to dry out.
Personally, the liner in my Ghillie Roe Sack is not attached to the outer sack by the paracord, I just have it loose in the main sack, so just remove, swill out, dry & replace back.
I highly recommend the Solognac backpack from Decathlon 70L+10L Backpack - Camo
A rigid pack frame is crucial for any regular or longer distance extraction. Pack stability and weight distribution can be well managed and comes with a removable water / blood resistant liner bag that you can easily hose down afterwards, keeping the pack free of blood. Have packed many roe, chamois, mouflon etc out of steep country and never have an issue. Plenty additional storage and a rifle pouch to strap on rifle when you need both hands free. Good piece of kit.

Get the monarch roe sack its all you will need have had two roe in the sack and one on top at the same time (i was fitter then ) but the build quality of the monarch deer sacks is second to none in my opinion will last you a life time of stalking and if you rip the liner bye any chance rob supply's replacements and they are made in the UK hope this helps

That's a great weight in a roe sack. I agree that they are a great bit of kit having recently bought one. A bit off thread, but what pulley system do you have there? Mine is a bit knackered and in need of replacement.Was a case of hmmmm this morning, but we worked it out.
Sika sack would have swallowed it, but my compact Monarch roe sack did just fine.
Thankfully that fallen tree was there to aid getting it on my back.

Websites a bit pants - give Miles (good guy) a call.
I tried to replicate it using bits off the net - rope got caught down the side of the top pulley wheel and the casing with a decent pricket swinging on it this morning - got proper stuck.

Great info thanks for the photo, I'll have a look. I bet that took some sorting with a pricket swinging on it.B&D stalkers assist kit.

Do you still recommend this backpack? I need a roe sack and looking to get a monarch but not sure due to no back support.
I can verify this statement. Put a Sika hind and calf in the sack. Got it onto my back and then rolled round on the floor like an overturned turtle for a few minute before I admitted defeat and made 2 trips to my extraction point
Personally I like it very much and use it constantly....although someone mentioned recently that Decathlon UK no longer sell it? I have not verified this info though.

Cheers! It’s still available on decathlon
Another vote for the sika sack had two roe or one reasonably sized fallow in many times benefits that I can just chuck it in the washer after , still going strong 3 years on
