If you want to see something scary, look at an elk's hide under a microscope, especially a rutting bull. It would gag a maggot.

No way is someone else's old sheets touching my elk. I would buy new pillowcases.
Dink These are the same type of guys that brag about leaving the hide on an elk to keep it cleaner

Hate to be a buzzkill but there are millions of dead skin cells even in freshly laundered sheets and pillow cases...perhaps billions. Not to mention every other bodily fluid cells known to mankind.
No friggen way I'm letting those things touch my elk meat. Probably some lead fragments in the meat too! It's a wonder any of us have lived as long as we have

I'm bringing hand sanitizer on my next hunt.. and Sanitizer wipes..
I'm OCD'ing that [bleep] elk! People that use that crap just get sick more often.. You ever notice the numbers of people (men) using a public restroom then leaving without washing their hands? Thinking about the last thing they had in their hands right before grabbing the door pull is incentive enough for me to take my chances with hand sanitizer...just saying. Having said that, worry about using a "used" sheet to pack out meat is laughable to me! Ever heard of a washing machine? And if you looked at what you sleep on every night under a microscope, that which is living in your nice clean bed, you'd have nightmares! LOL! You want to freak out? Google "demodex" and see what's living on YOU!

Lol. Maybe I went overboard, but I ain't using some old pillow case with dried saliva and [bleep] embedded, embedded deep, deep into the cotton fibers at the microscopic level.

I think I might have some of that OCD ? Cause I don't seem to mind if I am just not strong enough to hang the quarters in a tree with out one or two hitting the ground. Maybe I am not fast enough to suit some's idea of getting the game field-dressed? Bet I never even a seen a horse, mule or pack-out equipment that meet packing-plant standards? I hear that flies puke digestive enzymes onto what ever their eating before they can lap up elk meat! I bet there are more pathogens just floating in the air then we can count? Why many of us even cut right through what for a lack of a better name could be called the bulls 'piss-parch' with the same knife we use for the entire field dressing process! Not sure for the life of me what is wrong with using bed sheets? But for those that are sure that is what caused the mutant germ that lead to zombies? There not invited! I bet the squimsh-factor is inversely proportional to the amount of time afield or on the farm? btw: Used bed sheets are a lot handier sewn into a pouch. Way handier yet of they have a draw-string! Handier then just mantied around a quarter with used bailing-twine. Once it's cold enough, I have not had a lot of problems with out anything.
