fatfootdoc Report post Posted February 14, 2008 What do you guys use when you have to fly for your hunts? It seems like all of the gear bags I have seen weigh an arm and a leg. I really have no experience here so any input is appreciated. The only input I have gotten otherwise is to stay away from buckles and straps as they seem to disappear enroute to the hunting grounds.

jamaro Report post Posted February 14, 2008 It depends... If I am going to bring the meat back I use cooler with wheels... If I am not going to be the meat back I use duffel bags with wheels... The key word is wheels.... Most of my bags are Cabelas Brand but the cheapy Walmart American Tourister stuff works fine(it is made by samsonite) Jason PS...Where are you going???

fatfootdoc Report post Posted February 14, 2008 j- I heard that the cabelas bags were pretty crappy and came apart after a few flights(I know , hearsay ) I am either going to OR to hunt blacktail and fish or to Kodiak for blacktails. I would like a decent quality bag and have thought about the badlands terra glide, but have no experience with it, other than the warranty , that way if it gets messed up I can just send it back.

jamaro Report post Posted February 14, 2008 FFD... Maybe the cheaper Cabelas bag but higher end ones are really nice... I easily fly over 100,000 miles a year and I haven't had any problems.... I also like the fact that they stand by there products... I actually saw that Badlands and I thought it was expensive for what you got... But that was just me. J- YOU LUCKY DOG... Who is going to be your outfitter if you go to Kodiak? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
fatfootdoc Report post Posted February 14, 2008 J, I will look at the cabelas a little more closely, what kind do you have? I would be going with a buddy of mine who has been up there a few times and has used the same guy each time, however I have no idea who it is I would just be tagging along. If I go to OR, one of my good friends is a game and fish officer and he runs a lot of the rivers on patrol so we would actually float the rogue river and hunt the newer burns and then when we tag out fish for salmon and steelhead. So I figure either way I cant go wrong!! Of course the other factor is if my kids get drawn for anything. ag Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
matthewp45 Report post Posted February 16, 2008 I have the Badlands Terra Glide and I love it. It has a seperate bottom for a bow or boots and a big compartment for clothes. It also has many different small compartments for various things. It is built extremly well and has wheels. It is perfect for all travel. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
