I’m looking at buying the Exo k2 2000 or the Mystery Ranch Sawtooth 45, does anyone have one of these or a different model from one of these brands?

I have the K2 3500 and I love it. Hauls meat great. I use it for anything from day hunts to backpacking trips. Also made in the USA which is important to me.
Did you get the crib attachment for hauling meat or do the two straps on the bottom keep meat secured good?
You don’t need the crib attachment. It has a meat shelf in between the bag and the frame.

Another great pack for day trips and cue nights out is the eberlestock f1 mainframe and the f2 transformer pack. Hauls meat and there's is room for gear.

A lot of guys on here like the Kuiu Icon pro 3200 they hold a lot for a mid size pack and haul meat great.
Or the old remington pack with the external aluminum frame and nylon bag from walmart...best 59.99 ive spent!!

Once upon a time I had the same pack.
Let a guy borrow it, he must have fell in love with it cause I never got it back.

I have an exo 5500 and love that pack makes a 60lb load feel like 25. I also have a kuiu 3200 and a Gregory baltoro 85 that while good there is a noticeable improvement with the exo. But mystery ranch is also a great pack company and it would be a couple hundred dollars cheaper.
I ended up buying an exo and then sent it back and ordered a blacks creek. I’ve worn the blacks creek on a couple of scouting trips and so far it’s been working good, I like the layout of the pockets.
