[QUOTE="COLOelkman, post: 1138895, member: 79247"] It is tough like many things nowadays as there are so many choices and good packs to choose from. I bought a KUIU 1850 pack as well as their 6000 ultra (light) bag. I can backpack my gear in with the 6000 and take it off the frame in camp and put on the 1850. They are unbelievably light. The 2 packs are way lighter than my previous Cableas Alaskan guide. I packed out a hind quarter and about 30 lbs of gear on the first trip and it was really comfortable. I used my 1850 pack all day and used it probably about 35 days this fall and absolutely loved it! I like the versatility to most as I can bow or rifle hunt with it. Good packs are not cheap but I thought the KUIU's were the most reasonably priced and it was exactly what I wanted. I too don't like the idea of using a "big" pack as a daypack as some packs promote this idea. Not that it doesn't work but I'd rather have a smaller pack for my normal day hunts and use the big bag just for packing in camp. It is hard to try them on but I went to the Utah Hunt Expo in Feb last year as they had many pack mfg. there so you could try on many hunting packs. Good luck on your decision. [/QUOTE]
