Spent last Deer season using a Badlands Reactor pack with an old Navy seabag rolled up and attached incase I got a buck ( I know, pretty ghetto but the best I could do) and I just want something better suited to hauling game out if I punch my tag.
Money is tight so I'm looking to spend less than 300 preferably around $200 if possible. I'm looking for something that's hydration compatible, with a meat shelf. From what I've seen, my best options are probably a Full Curl G2 lite combo, a Spika Dover, or an ALPS OutdoorZ Extreme Commander X Frame and just attach my Badlands for this season.
Do any of you guys have any experience with any of these options or maybe something else I haven't thought of?
My typical hunt will be between 1-6 miles total with very minimal gear. I usually just pack a headlamp, backup flashlight, batteries, water bladder, phone, sweatshirt, mini binoculars, lighter, toilet paper, plastic shovel, Gerber folding saw, tiny Allen pop up camo netting with collapsible sticks, snacks, 2 knives, game bags, gloves, head netting, light emergency poncho, zip ties, pen, ammo, license and keys. I'd like to pack a tiny collapsible chair, and maybe a pop up blind or larger camo netting but it's a bit much with the reactor. Any info would be appreciated.
Oh and by the way, I'm 5'11, 240# if that makes a difference.
