Game cart or external frame pack?

[bobcat]

Cabelas has one of their pack frames on sale now for $90, regular price is $120.

It's the same one I've had for over 20 years.

I use both. It really comes down to the area you are hunting. A lot of the places I hunt say elk, I cant get a cart threw. So a pack works way better. Plus getting way back in there and having to come out for the cart is not fun. Now where I hunt deer 90% of the time I could use a cart to get them out.

I only shoot where I can load them whole in my ATV while wearing dress shoes! 

 

Frame back is always handy and really depends on the terrain you hunt (brushside makes a cart more difficult).

Game carts work great if you plan on doing all your hunting off of trails and old roads...

Pack frame if you plan on hunting all other places. 

get a good pack frame, and you will never regret it.

You need both....seriously, a frame pack is awsome when you are in a place where a game cart does not work.  A game cart is awsome for road or good trail access.  Neither one is perfect for all scenarios.  If you can only afford one at a time then evaluate where you will be hunting this year and buy the one that fits that scenario.

  But get a great packframe first as you can always use that. Also,  if you later get a game cart you can hand the pack to another partner if you have one or if you are strong enough to do both at the same time dependent of the trail.

I decided to get a frame pack first. I ended up getting a Cabela's Alaskan Outfitter frame and harness only as I have a Badlands bag that I'll use with it. I tried the Extreme Alaskan and found that it wasn't as comfortable as the Alaskan.
