I’m used to being drenched in blood so that part isn’t so bad. I’ve only ever had one tick embedded in my skin… and I drove a km to my coworkers house so she could rip it off.
I’ve stalked up to within 10 ft of a feeding black bear, and have stalked a pack of wolves in the forest on my own. Neither bothered me. But a tick is so damn invasive.Yes, I've had the occasional Saturday night out in Newcastle......................

Don't like ticks either. Very easy to miss. Especially with lots of body hair and no small mirrors!

I've used this for the last few years. It 's a great bit of kit, but it does have its limits. I struggle to get a large roe in it even without the liner, and the straps and stitching aren't the best. I had serious doubts about the plastic D-rings too, but they've shown themselves up to the job. My main criticism though, is that the pocket zips rub on the stock of a shouldered rifle, and the plastic grip-strip on the strap sits exactly where your rifle sling does, so it keeps sliding off your shoulder. Time for a change to a proper roe sack, I thinkI use the Apex Predator from Napier. Carries all my gear in the belt kit and turns into a decent roe sack after a successful stalk.

Your roe must be eating a lot of Shredded Wheat.
As part of the gralloch, I take the head and legs off then stuff the carcass into the sack and not had a problem so far. I agree it is only a single roe or maybe a double muntjac bag though.
Plastic stock on my Steyr Scouts, so zip marks are minimal.
I did find the same issue with the straps. But, by definition, If I am using the shoulder straps for the sack, it is because I have a dead roe/muntjac inside it, so my unloaded Scout is easily hand-held at that point, as I am not looking to shoot any more deer.

Not always, but the average has been around 19kg, so they get quite chunky in my neck of the woods. And of course if it's a decent buck the head stays on
Yes, and also blood, contamination etc.
Nothing worse than finding ticks and Keds running about yourself when sitting watching TV after coming back from stalking!
Thanks for all the help! I have gone for the Monach
