So I’ve hunted elk twice and I’ve not been successful as of yet. We had some cheap pack frames in camp and just used sling packs as day packs to hunt with. With all that being said I always thought man we are 5-6 miles from camp this is going to blow if we get one down and have to make the hike out then back in. So all that being said I want a day pack that has a meat hauler and capability to maybe spike camp for 3-4 days. I really want an EXO but it’s way out of my price range. Mystery Ranch offers a great discount for first responders and military that drops it well into my price range and I like the looks of the metcalf.
