I bought a Mystery Ranch Pop Up 18 for this year and love it. I have packed two deer out with it so far and it has been as comfortable as a full size frame and shelf pack. Plenty of room to take gear for an all day hunt and stowing a few extra layers on board also. It's a one trip in and out pack even when you kill a deer size animal.

Every normal man must be tempted, at times, to spit on his hands, hoist the black flag, and begin slitting throats.
