stanley Report post Posted December 28, 2015 I weighed mine for the first time this year because a friend had dropped a scale off at my house for a hike to Havasupai that we were planning. My hunting pack was right at about 30lbs. This includes the majority of the weight is for the 15s & tripod, and the rifle. Water and the actual pack made up the other significant portion, with rope, food, etc. bringing-up the rear. Seemed kind of excessive when I pondered it, but it sure is nice to have all of the gear to make your hunt just as you want it. Thank God for a decent pack (Eberlestock)! S.

208muley Report post Posted December 30, 2015 For a 5 day backpack hunt my pack will weigh 38-40 pounds without weapon. Day pack will weigh 15-25 without weapon. Fluctuates based on how much glass I'm packing Elk hunting packs are a bit heavier. Working on getting lighter as I am finding what I NEED and what I don't. Also lighter stuff is expensive.

Mike S Report post Posted January 1, 2016 I'm pretty much at 208muleys's numbers posted above. It mostly depends on how much water I'm carrying. I use a Mystery Ranch Nice Frame with either a longbow or 6500 bag which is on the heavy side compared to many, but tough as nails. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
mattys281 Report post Posted January 1, 2016 I have no idea what my daypack weighs. I'd guess under 20. For backpacking hunts I'm usually 38-45# going in, depending on how long the trip is and what the weather is supposed to be like. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
