CatfishKev Report post Posted September 10, 2023 I got Mystery ranch. Any pack that can detach with a meat shelf basically. Kifaru, kuiu, mystery ranch are all popular choices. I went with a "backpacking" style mystery ranch. Was cheaper then the hunting version. Keep an eye on camofire, Sierra trading Post etc. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Eli Report post Posted September 12, 2023 Mystery ranch has been my go to. Heavier pack than some other options but the shelf handles loads well Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
QCwtAddict Report post Posted September 13, 2023 I've had an exo for a few years and really like it but if I was going to try a new pack I'd probably get a kifaru. Had a mystery ranch and wasn't too impressed, had an eberlestock but it was too heavy, and used an outdoorsmans optics hunter for a few years but it wasn't comfortable when packing elk quarters.

Curtis Reed Report post Posted September 15, 2023 I use an EXO K3 4800. Love that pack. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
HuntHarder Report post Posted September 15, 2023 Kifaru frame and whatever bag suits your needs. I've been using my Stryker XL most lately. 5+ night pack ins to quick day trips, hauls meat fantastic and compresses down to nothing. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
