Nothing works in Alaska but heavy duty light canvas bags (around 36" wide and 70" long). These are used for moose quarters. The bags made of an elastic but very strong sort of cheese-cloth are good for the back straps and tenderloins since these allow for air to aerate the meat inside. But on a cool day or evening without bugs, we hang the meat in a shaded area until it develops a sheen when it dries and remove the game bags. We usually have several bags, and use the new ones when transporting the meat, and to keep flies from laying eggs on it.
A large moose hind leg often weights around 160+ pounds. Pillow cases would never work for that. Maybe to put small pieces of meat from the neck, tenderloins, and back straps.
