You win nothing. Scenarshooter killed a bear on Thursday night, June 3rd. He wins the award of the most awesomest first blood on his first day owned MR backpack.

Greeny,
Gonna be headed your direction this week, is there still a couple places on "that side" that are still open a fat man can hike into. Thinking I might throw a rifle in. Casey

Wham,
Is thet a Bighorn? Too bad that bull didn't make it through, would have been nice to having another one to chase this fall. At least you found it before it went white and the porque's ate it up. Casey

Casey, season's open everywhere south of town, but things are greening up fast, everywhere, in the trees, and on the north sides. Water is raging! This is house rock about 3 hrs ago and I suspect it could cover in the next day or two, from the warm rains.

And check out the bear from Thursday..

Just looking at the pic made me wince a bit - that's gotta be cold.
Big water and no safety rope in sight, and I sure hope that's not snow in the background.

Brrr!

he went down seconds after that photo was taken, hit the bottom and pushed downstream a little ways, jumped out, shook off, and continued on his merry way... suffering the pain of those loadlifters the remainder of the trip.

Guys, I should state that I have found some conflicting reviews by ER and that maybe I should give these packs an honest shake. I am confused Aron. On May 31st 2010 in this thread http://forums.bowsite.com/TF/bgforums/thread.cfm?threadid=382873&messages=151&forum=5 you state after HerdBull asks you this question, and your reply follows:

Herdbull ........

How quiet is the outter material of the Longbow? Would you recomend it as a hunting day pack? Mike

From: THE ELK REAPER .......

I'm going to be using it for a day pack...So I would say yes, it will work great as a day pack. It is louder then some of the other pack companies materials, but not something that I am concerned about.

But on March 4th 2010 in the 2010 Pack Reviews http://forums.bowsite.com/TF/bgforums/thread.cfm?threadid=379652&forum=5#2935163 you state this about the Long bow and Crew cab: (Begin of quote:)

I did not like the MR crew cab or longbow but thought the Bighorn was one of the best packs I ever used.(End of quote)



So, I will just wait until I get to handle one of these packs as the reviews go back and forth regarding these packs from ER and I realize I should not pass judgement, as he likes them one day and dislikes them the next.


ER, So now you do like the Long Bow and are in fact so happy with it you will be using it as your main daypack? Now I see no mention of the Big Horn and you are now endorsing the MR 6500?? Now you understand why I don't get comprehend your reviews.

Why would you base anything off of what one persons says anyways.

No kidding...

I'd be really surprised if you kind find a product where there aren't any negative reviews out there.

Hell, I bet if you looked hard enough you could find somebody that'd say something negative about Scarlet Johannsen's ass.

Great bear Scenarshooter...

If you are not smart enough to figure out that I like the Longbow as a daypack but not as a load hauler, it's not my fault.

Like I said before, my intended use of the pack has changed..not the review.

Why would I need to endorse the Bighorn....I already endorsed it.....Should I do it again?

I had never used a 6500 until recently, and now that I have, I don't think it will ever come off my back.

If you don't like the fact that I am using MR packs, choose what makes you happy,,,,,You are an adult...right?

I should add that the MR packs have been standing the test of time and that goes a long way.Other packs have not been doing as well.

I once worked for a company that does quite well and we often times "fired" our pain-in-the-ass customers. Meaning that we refused to do business with them as they were annoying time-sucks and provided far less potential value than reward. Tidbit or info anyway.

Longbow's a great pack. Some still use a XL bag (6500) as there's often times things that are nice to stuff in there.. full chest waders, boots, spotter, tripod, other gear.. 6500 can be used as a daypack as was yesterday. But this guy uses his crewcab "almost every day".. It must suck. Don't tell him about those loadlifters.
