Hey guys, I'm new here but have been reading non stop on here and other forums. I've looked at just about every pack there is and I'm just overwhelmed.
Here's what I'm looking for. I live in Alabama and hunt only whitetail. I doubt I will be going out west...maybe one day but not in the near future. I hunt 85% from the ground. We typically have mild weather but late season can be cold (for here), so temps can vary from 50s to 80's early season down to 20's late season. I don't carry a ton of gear. snacks/water, Knife, range finder, gps, phone, few spare aa's, flashlight, layers, and when cold, insualted bibs and jacket, and a cushion for the ground. Prob at most 10 lbs.
So I want day pack (I guess you'd call it) that will be fairly compact but then expand to hold my clothing when it gets cold. I do wanna keep it as light as possible as this will be used mostly in steep ridge country. I also don't want something huge and bulky as I often go through thicker timber. I did want the option to haul out a boned out whitetail though I would only do this once every season or two.
I liked the looks of the Horn Hunter Main Beam but I'm sure it won't be good for hauling out meat.
I know you guys are huge on Kifaru but I don't know if it will be overkill and I wasn't planning on spending 5-600 bucks. Would appreciate any suggestions!
