I am going on my first mule deer hunt soon, my father and I will not be Camping out; just going out for the day each time; but I want the pack to be able to haul meat back to the vehicle if the hunt is successful. I want it to have a good rifle carry system as well.
I have been looking at Eberlestock dragonfly and just one. I love the rifle scabbard they have. I don't want a pack that is so big it ruins my hunt. I was thinking 3000 to 5000 in.³. I really like stone glacier solo but my dad made a good point when he said it only has one exterior pocket and one interior pocket. I like tenzing tz 5000 a lot. And I know kifaru is top notch, but would A kifaru nomad or other pack serve me well? I want to be able to carry a spotting scope, tripod, some food, and other necessities for a good days hunt. I have looked it all kinds of packs, blacks creek, Easton, tenzing, stone glacier, crooked horn, eberlestock, and kifaru. I like the meat carry idea of tenzing and stone glacier; in between the pack and frame.
I love how eberlestock had the expandable meat hauling portion. I think Eberlestock has the absolute best rifle carry method. Not because it's easy to get to because it's not as easy as others; but because it will protect the rifle better than any other. If I go with eberlestock; should I go j34 just one or j107 dragonfly? I like the heavier suspension system on the dragonfly but I worry it will be too big for just going out for a days hunt each day. I think the j34 just one may be right up my alley as far as the size goes.
I like the crooked horn high country extereme; anybody got one? Backpack Shopping Will Drive a man nuts so I am finally posting on a forum and looking for opinions from backpacking veterans. I will greatly appreciate anyone can give me advice or if some owners would point out details about their packs that I might like. I am 6'2 200 lbs and I read if I did get a Tenzing with my height I should get the tz 6000 over the tz 5000. Any help would be great. Thanks
