My wife and kids bought me the new Eberlestock Team Elk pack for my birthday last week, and I really like it so far.
The frame wraps under the pack for hauling meat, built in gun scabbard and bow bucket.

Check out the eberlestock blue widow, or the one in the classifieds.

What size? How much do you want to spend? What type of hunting?

Well I like the badlands 2200 it seems about the right size. Just wondering if there is a better alternative.

There is one for sale in the classifieds for a real good price.
It's a TIKKA thing..., you may not understand.

I had a 2200 and it was uncomfortable and awkward to carry, I sold it and got a eberlestock and it fits and rides way better, plus you can customize it anyway you like

22oo is the most comfortable pack I've put on my back. Only complaint is I sweat like a pig on my back with it.
Can't we all just get along?

ill never buy another badlands pack. seemed like every time I loaded it up heavy it would have something break or tear.
not very durable IMO. I have been very pleased with my eberlestock dragonfly I got last winter. been loaded up very heavy, maybe too heavy for me and it handled it great.

I have a X2 with the Bow bucket and its great! Good for day or a few days if you have the right gear. But like JPhelps said its depends on what you are wanting...

I recommend WPS to everyone. This is what we use. I love mine. I have packed elk, deer and moose with it and the bag is great for carrying gear, and meat.
