Same for elk. 6.5 Creed and 139 Scenar. That's probably all for backpack hunts this fall. Got a couple cow tags left, but hey this isn't Rokslide so I don't need to shiver myself to sleep in a tipi to hunt those, ha.

That one is a stone glacier load cell. It's the right shape and big enough to fit about 70-75# of meat. I have also used a previous iteration from them and a 35L sea to summit eVac drybag, but it's just a little too small for anything more than a boned out muley.
