after this archery season I am convinced it is time to replace my old pack, its nothing special cabela's bargain cave special if I remember correctly. I put on roughly 60 miles this archery season and hunted 9 days out of the season and everyday my pack just wore on my shoulders, my pack is not that heavy with gear for the day as I mainly can only day hunt and not backpack hunt like I want to. My pack weights are normally 10-20 pounds for the day depending on what kind of gear I think that I will need. But here is the kicker I still want a pack that I can throw a hind quarter of an elk on and not worry about the frame being able to handle the load. I have looked at eberlestock mainly and the team elk pack along with the j34 I believe is what it was called have caught my interest have not looked much into kifaru but I know they are another big brand. The only pack I do not think I will be considering is an exo mountain gear due to the price tag for a 3500 cu in pack. I believe it was somewhere along the lines of 550 dollars and that is just out of my price range. Any suggestions are appreciated!
