I always stick the deer (like you would a pig) when I get to it, turn it (head first) down hill and pump its chest with my boot a few times. Especially important for neck and head shots. I reckon it results in a lot less blood through the meat, and that artery near the hip joint doesn't gush so much if you cut it.
The Hunters Element bags breathe and wash out easily. They have replaced my pillow cases. Whatever you use should breathe.
Also, those packs that can carry the meat between the pack and the frame keep your pack and contents blood free. Ive got one of those too. Bit of a gadget man.
