You see, we tried to accommodate you with examples of both packs and reason. Reread my original posts above and I didn't bash Eberlestock, I use their packs.
The MR suspension can handle more weight than the Eberle, simple fact of physics and construction. Whether it is comfortable on you is another issue.
You think you will come to this site and read from the book of 'Backpackhunting Jesus', Elk whoever and we will bow down, (guy is probably a good dude and would be embarrassed how you abused his name).
Old news you bring... go watch a DVD and learn something.

Yea, pack a turkey out with no pack to carry it in for a couple of miles and it is a lot of work. You are right Calvin. Some toms weigh as much as 30# here and they are no fun to pack out with no pack. The woods they hang out in are big ridged timbers, that have steeper inclines and tougher terrain then my last NM elk hunt. And your last post is spot on. It is laughable that some guys that live in other parts of the country, think they are real men because of where or how they hunt or what pack they use, and put down another guys hunts because of their ignorance to another one's ways. I have been boning out whitetails for years and packing back to my truck.

What is funny, is I have probably forgot more about bow hunting then a guy like you will ever know. Otherwise you wouldn't be offended by what a guy like Elk Reaper or others say about the crew cab.

So, have you ever met Elk Reaper, or do you just know him from the 'net? I've looked at his posts. The only thing I wanted to do after reading his posts is to go clean/organize his house.

Reading comprehension is not your game, I simply state that three does with no pack means go to the Biggame section. We're talking Backpack hunting here, look at the heading. I like your animals but they are misplaced here. That means pack in, gear and then all packed out. Here's a picture of a Eberle with 70 lbs of deer, gear, and weapon. All one trip out is the goal. With a MR I can increase that load 15 lbs. Works for me.

So, have you ever met Elk Reaper, or do you just know him from the 'net? I've looked at his posts. Just shoot the breeze with him on the net or facebook and enjoy his vast world of knowledge of packs and his life on the trails The only thing I wanted to do after reading his posts is to go clean/organize his house. Wow, you are special Calvin. Worry about a guys house? Are you serious? I will hire you to do mine and fire my illegal alien if you do good work? How do you look in high heels? I must be an [bleep], but I have zero interest in what some dude named "elk reaper" claims about any flashy "hardcore" pack. When I have a pack question, I hit up a few of the local guys who do 30 mile walk ins to go dalls sheep hunting. I take what they say to the bank. For some reason, they ain't using Badlands.. Maybe you can set them straight?! Why do you read his posts if you have no interest tin his opinion?

When it takes you a minimum 3-8 hours of hard hiking and a substantial elevation change to get back to the truck/boat, going back to the truck to ditch gear really isn't an option.. (hint) It's obvious now that your version of "backpack hunting" isn't even in the same ballpark as what most of us do. But, we all knew that, which makes this even funnier.

inefficient, extra trip for nothing, really bad if you are 10 miles in and have an elk on the ground.

Our whitetails will weigh 250 and are some of the largest in the country. Try again.

How hard can it be to drag a whitetail across a corn field?

Yup, Iowa is some ruff country, looks like no one else does that but you. But hey, it's good practice for when you take your "vacation" out west.
