Hi, interested too in what folk use. Decathlon has a 100l bag for £20 and looks easy to clean?
I have three of those and really like them. One in my kit, one in the car, one drying off after washing out. I wouldn't say they are 100% water or blood proof after a bit of use though.
Top tip: Don't brush against your wife's prize sofa when carrying it through the house.
I also have a couple of these. Pleased with them. I wouldn't want to carry one far but easier and cleaner than carrying a carcass uncovered. Also handy for transport in lieu of a tray if you are stuck.
I often wondered how big the pockets are that you'd need to put a yool in too. I put mine in a very manly tactical waist pouch , I believe the Americans call them fanny packs though .
I use a tool sack but keep it in an old camelback small daysack. It’s super thin so doesn’t catch on branches in woodland & means I can’t carry too many bits.
I wouldn’t want to cart something too far in a decathlon bag. I keep mine in the car to pop the yool sack in and avoid getting claret all over the car

I almost always carry a small bag with a flask of tea, spare clothing, etc. The decathlon bag goes in there rather then a pocket. It is not a solution for recovery from remote locations but for keeping a carcass clean for a couple of hundred metres and keeping the ticks contained it is great.

If you can a nice piece of rope, if it’s reasonably clear / clean ground drag it out
I tried the yool and it’s like having a stiff bit of cardboard up your back, nice bit of kit and well made but doesn’t fold well, a bit of fishing net and a strap would be better to carry and carry out, or a leather strap over your shoulder if you like ticks

You'll not go far wrong, useful for all sorts, eg chainsaws or fuel cans, etc. I don't personally use it much for carcasses generally, I prefer an open topped tray or box to permit further cooling on the way back to the larder, getting the deer to the tray by means of a roe sack of certain vintage...

This exactly, they are no joke. I got a pack of five and have one in my bag rolled up with a plastic bag and gloves. It is secured with a piece of double sided Velcro. This works very well for roe, muntjac and prickets/does imhoFRAKTA carrier bag, large, blue, 55x37x35 cm/71 l - IKEA
