[QUOTE="Duckslayer100, post: 347567, member: 1485"] I've come to the realization that I will likely forever be going into bigger areas, and walking further in them, to get deer. And while I'd love to be able to drag deer back to the pickup like I always have, the reality is that many of these areas are prohibitive to such transportation methods. That, and I'm not getting any younger. So that brings me to frame packs and, frankly, I'm overwhelmed. Here's what I know about what I need: -- I'm likely never going west to hunt anything, so a pack to haul elk quarters is unnecessary. -- I don't need it to lug around a bunch of camping gear. Just daily basics. -- If it has something to hold a bow or a rifle, that's a bonus, but not necessary -- I don't mind spending a good amount for a quality piece, but I'd also like to keep it reasonable ($300 or less if possible). Any suggestions on brands to try or, maybe better yet, steer clear of? Also, suggestions on the type of game bags to buy for keeping meat well from the field to the truck? [/QUOTE]
