Good luck on your hunt looking forward to seeing your success. I appreciated reading over your pack list, I was curious how you were going to pack outa deer with a small pack and all your gear. Also what x zone are you hunting? If you don’t mind telling.

Truduct is an animal in the field. Saw him pack out a deboned elk on the Mogollon Rim in three grueling trips. His hunting partner is equipped with a Outdoorsman long range pack w/ meat sling.
Update
Plan A&B have failed. Put on tons of miles and countless elevation gain. It was freezing balls up there. Went to places where I would have bet you $100 I would see deer but no one was home. The deer are down lower I have been up around 10-12k ft elevation and they just aren’t there asides from 1 dinker buck Saturday and a handful of does. My eyes feel like they are going to bleed I have been glassing so much.
The black bear was never to be seen again. I watched this bear for at least 30 minutes but it was Friday evening and the season opened Saturday, Murphy’s law I guess. Would have been a miserable pack out.
We packed out this morning and moved to a lower elevation plan C. Tonight I glassed up 9 does and a small buck right at dusk. Most of the time that wouldn’t excite me but after the last 3 days it was a good motivation knowing we are where the deer are. I have 1.5 days left honestly after tonight if it’s brown it’s down.
Stay positive, stay in the glass, and hunt hard!!

Dude I have packed our whole deer with my entire camp with this pack. All the meat goes in the meat shelf and the gear stays in the pack. EXO packs are no joke. The pack size is irrelevant to the meat. No matter which pack you get the shelf is the same.
