Feeling very blessed to have such a great hunt in Idaho. Hunted 2 weeks straight covered 90 to 100 miles of hiking. Harvested the wolf off an Old logging road.
Are you solo hunting or going in with a group?
Are you staying in the backcountry or hiking back to your truck everyday?
I solo hunt mostly, I keep it within 5-6 miles one way max.

Went the 2nd week of October. The year I went snow didn't hit till the 2nd to last day of my hunt 10 inches over night.
Most animals I saw were middle mountain, alot of side hilling hunting.
Good luck on your hunt.

A lot of them are two-lane dirt roads that turn into single-lane dirt roads you just have to watch out for washed out roads from runoff.
One year I hunted at the Rapid River trailhead North East on Stan Lee Stan Lee. Spent 14 days in that area.

About 20 lbs of gear and water. I say about 70 lbs meat cape and head. I'd guess 90lbs 6 miles out from truck.
I arrived back at truck at 1am.
The pack held up really well for how small it is. I did move up to a mystery ranch selway 60l. Only because I wanted to bring an overnight sleep system...
I like the guidelines but I did swap out to a more robust stakes, just my preference and it only came with 6 stakes.

I usually carry my camp with me while hunting. If I were going to make a base camp I would just use sticks.

You will lose some room with SG bug tent segment of this system. Overall I think it's a great system for my needs. Very fast set up time also.

I run a mystery ranch pop up 28, mystery ranch selway 60L and a mystery ranch Marshall.
I use the pop up 28 for day hunts. The selway 60L for 5-day hunts and summer backpack trips with my son. The Marshall for up to15 day hunts.

Just finished setting up Stone glacier tarp with antics. Fits my needs well.
It can fit two adults just a little cramped but will be great for me and my 12 year old son. With tarp, antics and 16 stakes around 18 Oz. The brown bags are kifaru supertarp and antics weight, the only reason why I'm...
