	Yea seems like there always on there its the xl elk bags right now I'll probably wait for the L deer bags to come back around, who knows might up my chances of drawing an elk tag
- 
	So im a real small framed guy aka skinny and for a hunting pack i like a pack thats narower than i am so its not hanging on everything but the pack i have doesn't expand enough to pack a deer and its to small to lash to, ive already got a good load hauling pack what im looking for is something narrow and smallish but would expand enough to pack out say the hinde quarters off a deer, so any suggestions would be greatly appreciated

	I try not to restrict myself to mutch on budget buy once cry once, i had looked at kuiu but thats why i decided to ask everyone here becalse personal experience is mutch better than sales page info and for higher end packs i think its pretty mutch imposible to finde a store that carries all of em. For some reason i completely spaced eberlystock but i might just have to go take a look at that metcalf, yea i saw the ones in the clasifieds but i dont want to make a rush decision ive got plenty of time to look before i choose, i hang right around 30-32 i dont have a problem with fit its the pack size i like real narrow packs, ive looked at kifuru befor to they just seemed a little wider than id like, like i said ive got plenty of time to finde a pack that works best for what i need but i realy apriciate all the suggestions there are some packs and brands i hadnt thalt to look into

	Got a couple questions myself on the subject, in the main spot ill be hunting ive only got one tree to hang a stand and as high as i can get it the bottom is only maby 8' off the ground is this to low to be efective? Do you guys add cover to youre stands?
- 
	Could use a little advice, so this year I'm switching my focus from muleys to couse I've found acouple couse id like ventilate coming to a water hole, my delima is I dont know if it'd be better to sit a ground witch would be about 15yrds without a screen in the window since I shoot expandables or use a treestand I've got one tree about 30-40 yrds out but would definitely take some serious trimming to get a stand in, it'll be my first year in either
- 
	Alright so I found a tree to hang a stand that I didn't have to do any cutting and all my shots are 23-30 yrds, my problem now is I think my bucks went nocturnal. I got one set of pics in the last week since I checked it and they were there right at midnight so would it even be worth hunting that stand?
- 
	No its pretty thick so i'm not left with alot of options, ill have to go in and take a better look at the trees, treestand hadn't really crossed my minde until just recently there might be a way to squeeze a stand in without cutting branches, so u think id be better off with a natural ground blinde over a pop-up at that distance then?
- 
	Seems like it changed overnight, last year I didn't see another bear hunter all season same area this year just midday yesterday I saw five diferent trucks with dogs, on a frickin week day! getting a little to crouded for me time to start lookin at other units to chase yogi in
- 
	Ok so I already have a good external frame pack for load hauling and long trips so now i'm looking for an internal frame pack that's just big enough for a night or two with room for optics&tripod and a spot to strap my bow, my price range is around the 300 mark. Any suggestions?
- 
	Thanks for all the suggestions iv ben looking at the eberlestock's but the alps is interesting especially for the price, it "looks" like a pretty good pack just cant find much for reviews on it

	  What are you doing to get in shape for elk season?azdesert rat replied to daverp's topic in Elk Hunting This week pacing waiting on rusults lol, I stay in shape year round so not a worry but if Im going to the high country I try to hike elevation higher than what ill b hunting with a loaded pack as often as I can.

	I'm all for improving the lmb genetics but I wish they'd also start stocking flat head agin to build the population up. I think it will come down to beefing up the predatory fish population to take the gizzards out at every stage of development especially at mature spawning age, I don't think adding other predatory species to the lake is the best idea being that u never know exactly how it will affect the lake. We'll never rid the lake of em I just hope we can control the population. just my 2cents
