I'm preparing for my first elk hunt in the fall of 2025, and am hoping to purchase a used pack that can be used to pack meat if anyone in our group gets lucky. I know there are a lot of cheaper packs out there that would get the job done, but I would rather get something a little better quality with a few miles on it.
For sizing, I am 5' 6" with a 34" waist. Looking for something with a capacity between 60L and 80L. External frame is preferred. The Mystery Ranch Metcalf (old model) and Beartooth seem to be two examples that would fit the bill. I am hoping to stay under $200 if possible.
Thanks in advance!
