[QUOTE="sydleier, post: 561657, member: 21777"] The X1 will handle a boned out deer and head no problem, i personally have one and it's great. The biggest thing in my opinion is if you really want an integrated gun scabbard. A few of the Mystery Ranch packs sit on you hips a little better and might be a better choice for packing out an elk, but then your have your rifle on your shoulder with a sling. I one tripped out a bull last weekend with a buddy 4 miles with an X1 and he had a Mystery Ranch. Each of our packs was around 125 lbs with meat, rifles, gear, head ect and we were both too beat up to hunt the next day. All in all I've tried both packs and the Mystery Ranch distributed the weight better onto your hips, but then you have to carry your rifle. Every pack has it's pros and cons I would suggest trying as many as possible before you make a purchase and see what works the best for you. Some packs just fit different peoples frames better. I'm 6' and and I have my X1 set to the longest setting and I'd still love to be able to lower my waist strap another inch or 2. Just my 2 cents, Syd [/QUOTE]
