Love that thing, fits like a glove and hauls a serious load. I have a couple "Batwings" on it and use it for a day pack and have it with me when I need it. Before that an old Moose Freighter Frame - got about 25 years out of that one before it started falling apart. Can you add a rifle scabbard to it as well??? Frame, Batwing pouches, and a scabbard seems like a good set up for me...The first load out for me when I’m miles deep would be a quarter and the rifle. Dump the rifle after the first trip along with the scabbard. 😎 Curiosity Killed the Cat & The Prairie Dog “Molon Labe”

I tried goats before I got llamas and they worked fine but for my purposes, the llamas were better. I never packed any meat on the goats, though. Forget the alpacas. They're too small to do anything. They're just for growing hair to make your soft underwear. I guess the guy down the road has Llamas then, his aren't small. He told me they are good watch dogs too.

Prefer how the SG keeps the load closer to my body vs. the E-stock. I can walk on water.......................but I do stagger a bit on alcohol.

Something that I did to modify my deer hauling pack frame would probably work real well for your elk meat packing frames. I took a front wheel off a junk wheelchair and bolted it below the pack frame rails between two short pieces of aluminum angle. When my shoulders get tired, I can wheel the back pack like a wheelbarrow. Also a Simpson capstan rope winch will get anything you shoot out of a canyon and it only weighs 16 pounds. My other auto is a .45 The bitterness of poor quality is remembered long after the sweetness of low price has faded from memory
