So this fall I'll be going on my first elk hunt. We're gonna hunt from a base camp, and I was thinking of just using my normal hunting backpack with all my gear in it while hunting. But, buying a separate freight hauler type pack frame and leaving it at camp. Then if/when I need it, going back to camp and getting it to start packing meat out. Mainly because I don't want to spend a bunch of money on something I may only use every couple years and some of the packs everybody recommends are kinda pricey. Is this a good idea, or should I just suck it up and buy a good pack with a frame that can do it all and save myself that hike back to get a pack frame to haul meat out? I can afford a new pack, but don't want to spend the cash if I don't really need to.
