I hauled out a butchered whitetail doe from a gorge with an Eberlestock X-2. Yeah, it'll work but not the best tool for the job. The load was a hair over 60 lbs.
Specific for meat hauling, I'd want something larger that is designed to carry heavier loads than the X-2. I use my X-2 for carrying turkey decoys and gear during turkey season. While it will work, I categorize it more of a day pack rather than a meat hauler.
Realizing you're using Cabelas bucks, likely you won't find some of the more popular haulers people on here use. I like my Paradox and it will do anything I need. Not available at Cabelas though. I doubt they carry the Kelty mentioned above either.
