[QUOTE="WildRose, post: 1121392, member: 30902"] I'm trying to figure out just where in West Texas you are hunting that you'll have a need to pack meat out very far at all? Generally the problem with finding a good "day pack" that doubles for hauling gear and meat is that they are two different applications. It's really hard to beat just a good frame pack with a shelf for hauling meat. Add whatever meat bags you prefer, just ensure that it's breathable and strap it on. For a dedicated daypack that will also carry a rifle I've been giving consideration to the Tenzing 1400.

I've hunted West Texas though for over 40 years and can't remember yet having to haul meat out or a whole carcass for that matter more than a couple of hundred yards to get to where I could load it directly into a truck, or onto a horse or four wheeler.
