I do alot of backpacking/climbing, some hunting related, but most not. As mentioned, there is no perfect all around pack that I have found. But, specific to the question of the ultimate game or quarter hauler, nothing beats this believe it or not.http://www.ebay.com/itm/American-Seating-Company-WW2-Military-Wood-Frame-Backpack-1944-World-War-II-/111073109677?pt=LH_DefaultDomain_0&hash=item19dc7926ad#ht_1001wt_1255If you just want to flat out haul meat on your back, or ammo for a bazooka, you will be stunned how well these work and how comfortable they are.

Just couldn't get over the fact you had 10# on your back before the first item went in. No doubt nice quality stuff. I've been hoping for something lighter than the J107 so this did not fit the bill at all. Know a few guys that absolutely love theirs though!
