Home Forums Hunting & Shooting Backpack Hunting McHale pack picture thread

Trying to decide between the McHale CMII or the SCMII. Which are you guys using for multiday backpack hunting?

This year I'll be using the pack I decide on for a 10 day sheep hunt in the Alaska Range(estimated load w/ animal 80-100lbs). This is going to be my first sheep hunt and I'm pretty sure I'll be hooked but I am not sure how many of these type hunts I will do in the future.

For sure I will do my typical 1-4 day alpine deer hunting trips (typical load w/ animal ~70lbs) here in SE Alaska. And I will also be using the pack for family backpacking type trips where I carry most of the load.

Just trying to buy the pack that I can use for all of my intended uses and not be too terribly under/oversized.
