Title: Not what pack...but when???
Post by: Mr.T on July 22, 2015, 04:44:05 PM: Looks like I'm going to get some Bear specific hunting in this year (and very excited about that) vs. carrying a tag "just in case" while hunting deer.

Bear hunters...Question for you...do you A) wear a pack you can haul meat out on while your hunting or B) do you get your meat hauling pack from your rig after the fact?

I do want to upgrade to a better pack set, I think I will go with the horn hunter full curl setup soon.

And my pack doubles as my shooting rest. Bear are the one animal you want NO mistakes when shooting to a known rest really comes in handy no matter how far from the truck you are!

Last year when I killed my elk I was on one of these cursory inspections and had nothing and had to head back to the truck. Not the end of the world but could have got some field pictures and saved some time.
