I'm trying to decide on one of these packs and can't make up my mind. The sawtooth appeals to me because of it's lighter weight and is sized better for longer day hunts. The metcalf can do everything the sawtooth can do but it also gives the opportunity for backcountry hunts of a longer duration.
As of right now, I don't hunt the backcountry. Most of the time I'm out for dawn to dusk day hunts from a basecamp so that is making me lean more towards the sawtooth but I like option of backcountry for a few days if that opportunity comes along.
I guess my questions are this: Does the metcalf compress enough to work well for a day pack? Should I just go with the sawtooth and if the time arises get a metcalf/beartooth for a dedicated backcountry pack?
They both have the same frames so I'm guessing they both will carry meat with the same comfort?
What say you?
