Looking for a decent afforable internal frame pack, something capable of hauling out a deboned deer in one trip, along with 2-3 days of gear. I used an external frame for years for moose, goat etc. It was good for week long trips and large moose quarters, but most of my backpack hunts are shorter in duration and only for smaller animals like deer, so would like to downsize my pack accordingly. Ive used an alice pack to haul a deer out before, but the external frames suck for those weight wise. Thinking there is something better out there I dont have exposure to, so lets hear it.
