[QUOTE="chav0_12, post: 2872893, member: 29765"] For a daypack, I just started using a Stone Glacier Avail. It's small, I can fit a kill kit including game bags, water filter, water bladder, some layers not much, and my glassing setup pretty easily. I tested it out on a javelina hunt in AZ this year. It was at least the perfect optics pack. I'd be really concerned about packing out meat with that pack though, I don't think I'd carry it on an elk hunt. For my overnighters I carry a Stone Glacier Sky 6400. It's way more pack than what I need for 5-7 days. If I were to do something where I needed a 4-season shelter it might get filled up but, I avoid sleeping in the snow. If I were to do something to carry the same amount that I can with my Avail I'd get something like the Stone Glacier Approach 2800 or even the EVO 3300 to put on my frame, and still maintain my ability to haul meat. I think with my gear loadout I could still get 3-5 days out of the 3300, it might be a good consideration for me come September archery elk season to stay light and fast. [/QUOTE]
