You will not be disappointed with a Mystery Ranch NICE Crew Cab!!!

They also have a newer pack the "Long Bow" that is not on their site, but is generating some chatter. You need to call their office to order it.

You can take a look here:

Their customer service is outstanding!

Also look at a Kifaru Late Season, Siwash, or standard sized Longhunter, great load-hauling capabilities and the gunbearer is nice for carrying long guns hands-free with qucik access if/when you need it:

I carry most of the stuff I need for quartering and hanging an elk with me. Saw, knife, rope, bags, water, food, and all of the stuff for spending the night.

I use the Black Creeks "Western" and my hunting buddy uses the "Canadian". The Canadian will fit a quarter and I can haul backstrap and tenderloin with other loose meat out on the first trip out. Next we switch to pack frames to go back and get the hanging meat. Both carry out a quarter then we go back for antlers and the last quarter. If we have help, the second trip does it all.

As far as backpacking in and setting a spike camp, we use old Jansport frame packs because they were cheap. Spent the money on good tent/shelters. What works good for us in the warm early season hunts is just mosquito netting and a tarp with a ground cloth for the sleeping bags. We have found that being able to travel as light as possiable is the only way to go for guys hitting 50 and over.

I use ebblerstock just one pack w/ bow conversion and use it for everything. Went for four days last year packed in with it and then used as a day pack and it worked great a little heavy for day pack, but I am a big guy so it didn't matter.

Check out the Timberhawk "Killshot" pack. 3000 ci and all kinds of good "Hunter " features, I have been scouting and training with mine for the last 2 months and I am taking it out to Colorado in late Sept. definitely an all around kick a!@ pack. Sweet pack, functional and very comfortable. Not to mention very affordable.

Blacks Creek Western works for me.
