Elk in Wyoming pack inWhat are you looking for in a pack? Day hunt, hunt from truck, backpack into an area, etc… lots of questions to answer before suggesting any type, style, or brand of pack.

Not exactly thread related but thank you.Not a lot of details to make the decision. Are you a regular hunter, or is this a one off? If a regular hunter, where(state) and what do you regularly hunt? Are you packing in on your back or being packed in and hunting from drop camp every day? If you are going in on foot, how far?
MR is not what I would consider one of the "high end packs". You can find them all over for 40-50% off regularly in different places, and if you can qualify for GovX or expertvoice, any time you want. They will haul, I've used them, but it isn't my favorite pack.
Based on your answers to my original question, if you're going to be taking camp in a long way and hauling meat out equa distance x4 trips, I'd recommend trying on every pack you can with 60-80# and seeing what is comfortable on your back. You can look through pages and pages on this forum and find votes for every pack in equal portions. The reason is that they all fit each person different. If you're a little thick in the middle or taller than the average human, a recommendation from a rando on a website isn't going to help you much...
There's not a damn thing wrong with Mystery Ranch.
Get a good one and be done. MR, Kifaru, SG. Spend the 4 5 or $600. Probably last you a lifetime if you're only using it two three times a year. Nobody has ever said their pack is too dang comfortable.
Or buy a quality used one before a cheaper new one. Theyre so well built even a used one is usually in plenty good enough condition to last you a really long time if not a lifetime. Theyre easy to re-sell too. Its not like theres been any industry break throughs making the 10yr old ones obsolete.
