On the longer trips, I carry an older REI day pack. Nothing fancy about it , but it does cinch down tight to control pack size.

I recently purchased the Dwight Schuh Mega hunting pack. 5600 cu. inches. I hope to try it out for the first time this fall in archery season. Don't plan on packing that much weight though. I wouldn't make it very far, lol.

So for this discussion sake we'll say your bull was smaller sized closer to the #500 range. (By the way it is a very nice looking animal).
#220 in a incredible high quality pack @#6, some of your hunting gear(knives, bone saw, water bottle, change of socks, maybe a game bag or two), we'll go light here say #5 more there and rifle, well about #8. WOW! 239lbs and you made it up the freaking hill. Let me know when your available, I'll hire you for a Sherpa..... Can't imagine what it could have been with a mature #700-800 Bull Elk.....

I did not vote cause you don't have my pack. Its a Barney's Pinnacle and it is the best pack I have ever used for packing. I have packed a whole boned elk with no problems to the pack. I also have a Arc'teryx Bora 80 and a 95 which are great packs up to hundred pound loads. My early season scouting pack is a Osprey Aether 60. Branden
So in one trip you are saying you packed out some 200 lbs. of meat with that pack? If that is what you are claiming I would have to say :bs:

I know a couple guys that cut bulls in half and pack them out that way. Also one of those guys packed a whole spike out. It does happen.
It happens by Men who hunt elk.

Then you pull the bat wings back over and strap them up and your ready to get your partner to help you get the 80 pounds on your back.

But, I am tired of carrying meat, and, I only want to make one trip with a whole elk, so I am opting for the Barneys Pinnacle Miracle pack, the one with the Superman Logo, so I can save my time. I am a man, and I hunt Elk!
Branden, the reason I am being an ass is; (you seem to try to insult all others here who apparently arent men cause we take a few trips to carry elk out...) and more importantly; because your story seemed a bit implausible... (difficult to believe. ) I simply wanted to know how much meat you are talking about carrying out, in one trip, on your pack. Answer the damned question. IF you were saying that "we leave the rib cage meat, the heart, the liver, all forearm/foreleg meat,...and only take the quarters and backstraps... " then I can (maybe) see carrying out only the meat from the quarters.....
How much do you think your pack weighed, with your one trip elk?

For elk I've always used my Cabela's Alaskan frame pack. It'll hold way more than I can or will carry. If I ever have the opportunity I'm sure my Eberlestock would be up to packing a quarter of an elk at a time, deboned of course.

Are there any companies that make a "Big and Tall" hunting pack ?? I can't seem to wear most of the packs out there cause the straps are sewn too close together and I feel like I am in a full nelson all the time. Maybe it is a suggestion we can make to the manufacturers of some of these packs !!
Post by: M_ray on March 27, 2008, 09:52:41 AM
I guess I fibbed a bit cause this is a 100 plus # pack here (said I only carry 80) and my buddie standing there has at least 80-90 pounds of boned meat and my 2800 is on the ground with another 70-80 pounds of boned meat and this is our third and final trip between three guy's and our first 2 trips were much the same! That's 9 trips with a minimum of 70 pounds and a head, Granted we didn't bone the quarters but that would have only shaved two trips at best so realistically if it were all boned it would have been 7 trips, 6 meat and 1 head.

Check out www.blacks-creek.com they have a shoulder and waist strap made for thier packs desinged for big guys. I have the Alaskan and find that the waist strap rides a little high, I am thinking about upgrading to this strap to help. They are truely great pack I love mine.

Check out the Mystery Ranch packs, They are designed by By Dana Gleason, Owner of Dana Design before they sold out to a foriegn company They have models that are built for big guys. I use an old Dana internal that I have and I'm 6'-5" and 275. I've had a 100+ in it a few times and its as comfortable as a pack can be with that kind of weight.
I went and bought a Badlands 2800 at the portland sportsmans show, partially due to a past post on this site. I took it on a 7 mile hike last weekend. Its a good pack but I have issues with the amount it can carry. You can get a ton of meat on it the way Mray shows in the pics but the main compartment is too small. I can't get my winter bag in the sleeping bag compartment, probably b/c its an extra long. I think an average size bag would fit OK. I think the 2800 would make an excellent day pack or hunting in the summer as a 3-day pack max.
Just my opinion.
Post by: Branden on March 27, 2008, 06:41:28 PM
As for M-ray I weighed my buddies bull from Washington state. The head and cape exactly how you have yours and it only weighed 75-76 pounds. So there is no way that your pack is over 80 since his bull was bigger. Your meat packs were probably more like 50-60.
Iceman. I think the pack was over 200 pounds. I have packed a weighed 135 pound pack and this one was way heavier. The reason I did not say how much I think it weighed is because I don't want to come up with bogus numbers like m-ray. I could not pick up the pack. I had to lay on my back to get my arms in the straps and then roll over.
Here is a Question for all of you.
If a guy can Squat 315 pounds for reps, 3 sets, then why could he not pack a 200 plus pound pack up that hill? Squats are harder because you go way lower. I also used hiking sticks, which if you have never used them before then you would probably not believe how much weight they take off your legs.
I don't really care if some guys on the internet believe me or not. Everybody I hunt with knows the truth.
I am sorry this got so off topic. Branden

This whole gripe session is probably more about being safe, than macho. We are all macho. I for one am a big ass Mfing Macho MFer, who can guzzle booze, eat live meat, and blow fire out my ass and nose at the same time, I just aint going to risk getting myself hurt, or others, when we score an elk. When we have elk down, we slow down and enjoy the conclusion of a part of our hunt. Cherish this moment, dont risk or ruin it.

The only reason I called you on that being BS is the picture you posted a picture of that country and you didn't give any details as to how far you had to go. If it was only up hills not to far with trekking poles, then I can see some one being able to do it and probably wouldn't even have bothered questioning it. I just assumed you were packing that much weight a long distance as in a few miles back to the truck. Maybe next time when you post something you should elaborate on it more, so people don't call you out. If you don't and say things like you did then people are going to call you on it.

Actionshooter, I was thinking ??? the same thing ... What if you put your fart sack in one of those big huge zip locks along with anything else you might fit in there to keep dry and stowe it like the meat sacks on the inside strapped to the board?
Then you would have enough pocket space for all of your other items & I was thinking you might even get your tent and poles on the inside too! I have yet to try this out but I'll let you know if I do!

Skyval- The grey and black pack is a Infinity and I'm not sure which other you are talking about but My elk head is on a Cabelas Alaskan. My buddies I was with got a little tired of waiting as I tried to get the head on my Badlands (first time I tried to get something that big on it, I know how I would do it now) and talked me into putting it on the Cabalas. I did take my first 2 trips with the badlands 2800 and about 70 pound average and it handled it fine and most importantly it was comfortable.

And im not the richest person in the world, But wone thing i have been taught is that you need to depend on your gear 100%.....There should never be a question with the toold you use in the field, so you could say KELTY earned my respect......

Pretty ignorant on my part isn't it. Just like its ignorant for anybody who was not there to tell me that I did or did not pack out the elk.
And since you still are being a dick, which I bet you would not to my face, I am going to tell you what I really think. If it seriously took 3 guys 9 trips to pack out an elk then they are a bunch of pansies! I have never heard of that. 4-5 trips I can see, but come on 9?
Branden
Branden,
At least you got one part of your statement right yes you are ignorant! And you don't retain the information you read very well either... it took us 3 trips to get my elk out ... my comparison to your story would have been 9 trips for one Pansie like the rest of us since we can't carry it all in one trip like you ... get it? 3x3 so 8 one way trips and a head = 9 if you were to do it by yourself.
And call me a dick if you like but you aren't doing yourself any favors here for trying to defend your original statement in fact you are very defensive towards me and I never called you out or said specifically that I thought you were BS ing! In none of my post do have to resort to name calling to get my point across I simply stated facts and now I am repeating your very own statements remember you started with the Pansy, dick & ignorant statements not me.
Sorry I'm a dick cause I don't think you can tell me how much something weighs by looking at a picture.
In fact that muley pack was weighed at the truck after I packed it over 3 miles and it was 78 pounds. Did you also consider that it's pretty ignorant to say your buddies had to weigh more cause it had more points? did you ever think about that if you cut a cape farther back it will weigh more? I've ruined capes in the past (ask tmike) and this one was cut at the ass! And I also had neck meat and scraps shoved in that pack and I never go without my 64 oz bladder of water and usually back that up with two 20oz bottles which will add weight.
Are you gonna tell me that my butcher in Ellensburg was lying about the weight too? I know what it cost to process it. I Ended up with 148 one pound packages of burger 145 packages of steaks and Four 4 pound roasts. Even if i was conservative on small packages of steaks (which are not ...anyone who knows Scribner knows he doesn't do any of them small!) it would still be 250 pounds (probably got closer to 300) and not to mention I think you would probably bone it out better than a butcher and have more! We didn't bone it out so since you didn't ask I'll tell ya that they were probably heavier with bones in them ya think?
So I'll stand in line with all the others on this board and watch you put 250 pounds on your back and carry it out the mile and a half that I did over blow downs across creeks and up hills with my little weenie packs and when you do it I'll shake your hand and call you a tuff guy if that makes you feel better.
Look the topic isn't how you are a big strong Manley man and that everyone else is a pansy because we can't pack it out in one trip like Branden. All animals are different sizes and weights and I simply told the story of how the Badlands 2800 Worked for me along with the Cabelas Alaskan. And since I don't need to prove how tuff I am I'll let you ask my Buddies if I have ever been scared to call someone a dick to their face. If you are I'll let you know ...right now I would'nt say it yet but I do think you made a statement that offended the integrity of some fine men and now you are digging yourself a deeper hole by defending it rather than being a real man and apologizing.

I took a look at a picture of Branden with a 4pt deer and judging by his size I don't think he could pack 2oolbs for 1ooyds even on flat ground, so whatever, maybe judging folks by photos isn't a good idea !!
And He seems like a hot head anyway so there is no place by my campfire for a person like that.

I took a look at his picture too and that is why I made a statement about him and packing a whole elk in one trip. If he did do it great for him, but I hope he knows a good doctor because if you continue to take loads like that your knees and back aren't going to last long and neither is your hunting career.

Not that any one cares but I start walking with thirty-five #'s for 5-10 miles 3 days a week for a month then add 10-15#'s each month till I get to 75#'s comfortable for that distance. Week before heading out I do several hikes with 90lbs (on flat ground) to be sure I can grunt it up there.

The packloads or "quarters" of moose I was carrying in Alaska were 180 pounds for the rear hips each. I thought that was just about enough for me and my pack. Go Nimrod! (thats the packs brand)Hey bone, thanks for clarifying that :chuckle: :chuckle:

On a serious note that ground was some of the toughest packing I have ever done, Real threat of a twisted or broken ankle :(

Would these packs like the badland packs be good for Day hikes into areas and then walking out the same day for elk? with the possability that you might have to pack out a quarter but most likely not get anything at all......
How much do these big packs weigh?

The thing that I like the most is the expansion for carring meat. It opens up right against your back and puts the heavy part of the load in close.
Not familliar with these packs but sounds like the badlands! The Badlands also has lots of pockets and room for a scope and a pocket for a 64oz water bladder here's another picture of mine in the feild with a scope and tripod, Oh and a shed!

my rig...eberlestock x1...2100 cubic inches and 5 lbs
Just so there is no confusion the Eberlestock at 9 pounds I was comparing to is the larger one since I was looking fro a 2800 cubic pack. i think the Badlands 2200 that would be in the same class as jakelopes here is 3 pounds so a couple pounds difference.

this is the 8lb'er m_ray is talking about.

it starts at 2900, and will expand to 5425, and then if you add the spike camp duffel...7900 c.i.

Bone, I know what your talking about on hind qrts of a moose, min 165lbs per each one, thank goodness we never ever shot one far from the boat.... Did have a fellow tell me packed two qrts three miles inside his pack, an old Military Alice pack. I smiled and let him tell his story.. Me too, but the pack was on the bow of the boat at the time... Although the trip was 16 or so miles....
M-Ray- No, I remembered the GPS, it is the old Garmin 12XL, love that thing till it finally quit due to being ejected out of a boat that was filling up with water, quickly, but that's another story....
