[QUOTE="CleanShot, post: 1133031, member: 70364"] Hello I know this question has been asked in various forms but I wanted to narrow down the question a bit to target my needs. I'm off to a hunt with an outfitter in NM this December. I wanted to get my pack from how to take it to the range and practice shooting off of it. This particular hunt sounds like pretty much a base camp and then just need a day pack for getting around for the stalks. But I'd like to buy something I can use in the future so if there is room for flexibility that's surely a positive. The bags I looked at so far are: * Tenzing TZ2200 * Banlands 2200 * Eberlestock X2 * Mystery Ranch Dragon Slayer I looked at Kifaru and a few others but I'd like to set my budget at a $350 with all accessories ie rain covers, scabbards, etc. Additionally I'd like a pack that's compatible with bows and rifles. Ideally I'd like to be able to pack meat out in the pack as well. Here's my analysis on each so far: * Tenzing TZ2200 - best value, no meat shelf, seems to just got the job done but will lead to an eventual replacement * Badlands 2200 - $300 seems to be pretty much all in with a meat shelf * Eberlestock X2 - needs a bow sling or scabbard and rain cover which adds another $50 or so to the base price. No meat shelf. * Mystery Ranch Dragon Slayer - I love the way this pack opens and the access to the interior but after calling MR they told me it won't really handle packing meat out and so I'd need to go with their Longbow which throws me out of my budget because it doesn't have a rain cover nor any waist pockets at that price. Any opinions or other bags I should look at? Thanks Sam [/QUOTE]
