Best Elk Hunting Pack, 2016

I'll be hunting with a daypack but for packing meat; I'm kicking it old school again this year.

That is awesome, 1995 was the last time I used one of those.  Went to a Bullpac after that and never looked backed.  Thanks for the walk down memory lane.

Love my Exo 3500.  Ive used it for day trips and for weeklong back country hunts.  Super versatile and very comfortable.  Lifetime warranty and made in america is also a plus for me.  Also when you call for anything Steve the owner almost always answers.

What are peoples thoughts on the Eberlestock "Just one" J107?  I tried one on and it felt like it had good belt and loading on to hips, but until you get 80#+ of meat loaded you just never know...  The pack sure seemed to have quite a bit of expandability, pockets, panels to be quite versatile.

What do some of you taller gents like to use, I recall hearing that some packs do not work well for taller folks.  (6'4")

Put two elk front-quarters in the bag and it did awesome.  I'm pretty sure it was over 80 lbs.  I'm 6'6".

I agree with many of the comments that you need multiple packs...
I have just a meat pack which is the Bullpac...  It is comfortable and I only use it to haul mean AFTER the kill. 
My day pack has been a crooked horn outfitters pack for years.  It has a zip pack for my spotting scope.  Has loops for tripod and enough room for rain gear and such. 
My big pack pack is only for rifle hunting and it has a built in scabbard.
My back packing pack is hammered and needs to be replaced with a nice Kelty.

No love for Seek Outside on here! I love my pack. I've had it for a couple years now and run the revolution suspension and have a variety of different pack bags I use now depending on what I'm doing. Super modular. Can also be used without a pack bag, just as a freighter or meat hauler as well. Super comfortable suspension/frame and capable of handling heavy loads extremely well. For those not familiar, I definitely recommend checking out. All made in USA.

But as with others have said, to each their own. Like your own boots, you just have find what works best for you. Lots of great companies out there these days.
