Mystery Ranch Metcalf Big Enough for 5 Days?

[Jason Snyder]

IMO it depends most on whether you realistically plan on killing something or not. I wouldn't, as I prefer something more in the 7,000 ci range to fit but my gear and meat.

Matt brings up a good point, in how you wish to load on the way out. I use the load shelf with my gear in the bag. If you want to put everything in the bag, the Metcalf will not be big enough for an extended hunt.

I did 10 days for sheep with one in 2013. Came out with a ram no problem.

Doin 15 days this year in Metcalf, mid Sept Northern BC, pack light and smart shouldnt be an issue.

Did you happen to have a pack list or a pack dump picture? Curious to see what you brought to manage to fit 10 days out of MetCalf with a Sheep packed.

Two packs, myself and a partner with same size pack.

That year we took another ram out on day 13.

No Pack dump photos. We have definitely hunted very minimalist to make weight and volume.

did 10 days this year with a Sky 5900 from stone glacier and it was nice to have extra room for more food etc.
