[QUOTE="FireFlyFishing, post: 2979026, member: 127412"] Ok, I have the best system for me in over 20 years of hunting as of this year. The last couple of years I have been using a Mystery Ranch Sawtooth 45 pack for day hunts. I have hiked up to 13 miles/day with a full pack and its comfort has been the best I have found thus far. The pack rides on your hips if you set it up correctly and order the correct suspension size. Its meat shelf system is absolutely awesome as far as packing animals out goes. Packed lots of deer and elk quarters out with this pack. It has ample storage for all the day items you listed. I have yet to find a downside to this pack. The last couple of years I’ve been running a Mystery Ranch reg sized bino case for my 10X42s. It’s nothing fancy, but does its job well and I’m able to mount Kuiu accessories to the side straps. Plus, I got it used for like $25! I did order a Kuiu XL harness for the larger binos I will be buying this year. TBD if I like that harness as I haven’t used it yet. Lastly, the biggest game changer this year is the addition of the Slick Sling (google/youtube it) that attaches to the frame and waist belt of my pack. This is the best invention in the hunting world I’ve seen in many years. All of your rifle’s weight gets transferred to the waist belt on your pack. No more sore sling shoulder! The last couple days of hunting this year, I carried my 12ish pound Rem Sendero around without issue. It is also relatively easy to deploy your rifle with some practice. The sling allows you to be hands free so I run trekking poles (double as shooting sticks for me) all the time now. I was able to harvest a nice whitetail buck and cow elk using all the items listed above. [/QUOTE]
