I at one point had carried 140 of hind quarters.... (on the bone obviously. Not recommended :'() Although not far (1/8 mile maybe?) it was damn near straight up... I normally take a quarter, but if its a short trip ill get em both... Not what I prefer, but in the way of speed I'll suck it up... The wifey only carries a shoulder at a time... If her hands are free she'll grab a sack of trimmings too... Good woman... :chuckle: Pic was a short trip (obviously, two hinds on board) this one was maybe 700 yards to the truck, fairly flat, no need to debone or skin out all the way (cleanliness) .... Not my preferred meat pack (old mil. issue Alice pack) but I had not received the Mystery Ranch yet... (dont like puttin my ugly @ss on the net...) |

drbones, what kind of hunting will you be doing? Terrain? Miles? Hauling spotting scopes, tripods, or other gear? Deer or Elk or both? Do you plan on coming back to get your meat with pack frames? Those are the questions in my opinion that will determine the right pack for you. There's been a bunch of good packs listed above to choose from. As for being quiet, few are. Nimrod makes the quietest pack that I've used, but other packs have different features that often leave the Nimrod sitting at home. |

Eberlestock dragonfly. I absolutely hate making that extra 2 hour+ round trip back to the rig to swap my cabela's rifle pack for my external frame freighter. Now I just have one 1800ci 'daypack' that converts to a huge freighter and can put my rifle in a scabbard and hunt hands free. Top "lid" converts to fanny pack with hydration in case I need to drop the big and go light for a final stalk. 2 added zip-in bags and it's an 8000ci monster for for extended overnighters in the mountains. Just added the Kifaru meat baggie, and a platypus 2L 'glass' hydration bladder. I highly recommend any of the packs with scabbards: nimrod, eberle, etc- hard to go back to a shoulder sling after using something with a scabbard system. :twocents: |
