Maine Moose Hunt pack

[WaypointMaine]

Hey there! First post. I am working for an Outfitter this fall for the Maine moose hunt. We will hopefully be packing out 20 or so moose over a two week period. The terrain is rugged but distance should be around a mile or less. Ive narrowed my choices down to a Barneys or a Stone Glacier X-Curve. What would you go with?
I plan on doing some Western Hunting at some point but no more than a hunt a year.

For what you re describing, Barneys.

Thank you. Thats what im finding. I wNted to go with a Stone Glacier Xcurve frame but think the Barneys will be simpler.

Just ordered a Barney's Pack frame. Looking forward to doing some training with it on to get a feel for it.

For hauling moose there is no better pack available. The only thing that bears a Barney’s pack is shooting one on a road and driving right up to it.

I guide in Northern Maine and two of these work just fine: https://www.amazon.com/ALPS-OutdoorZ-Commander-Frame-Coyote/dp/B07RXWWD65/

I ended up with a Barneys pack. Most of the guides I work with use the Alps packs. Im curious to see how they compare. Thanks for the input!

@WaypointMaine are you guiding with OMM? If so, I have a zone 6 hunt in mid-October and may bump into you!
