This backpack hunting concept is new to me, as I read and study the one question that keeps coming to mind is how big of a pack do I really need.
My plan is for 3 or 4 bow hunters to pack in together with the idea of staying a maximum of 4-5 days. I already have a two man tent that two of us can share and I am thinking two guys share a stove, water purification system and some other stuff to spread the load. We will be in southwest Colorado walking in from 5-8 miles between 10,000 and maybe 11,000 feet. I plan to hire someone to pack out an elk if I connect.
So what size pack do I really need to buy? I don't want to overdo it but sure don't want to buy one too small and have to upgrade later.
Thanks
