I keep going back and forth in regards to the route to take for my pack. 90% of my hunting is here in PA, for white tail, black bear, turkey, coyote, fox, pheasant. I also do ALOT of fly fishing.
I typically drive to my hunting cabin and use it as a base camp. And hike out into the national forest from there to get away from people. So i guess you could say I set up a "spike camp"? I stay back there a few days, or shorter, depending on how the weather and hunt is going.
Hauling out a white tail or black bear is probably within the scope of any of the top end packs. So I'm torn between going with an ultralite setup (i.e. Seek Outside frame and pack) vs something much more robust (Kifaru frame and pack).
My young boys are just starting to get to the age where they will be coming with me. And I see some elk, moose, mule deer hunts out west in my future.
Do I just bite the bullet now and buy a Kifaru setup now even though its probably "overkill" for my current needs? Or get an ultralight setup and risk it not being up to the task down the road.
