After purchasing the Eberlestock Team Elk frame pack and packing out my elk with it I found that it wasn't as great as I thought it would be. It works perfectly for a day pack but it was very difficult to haul out just a front quarter and definitely not a front quarter and a sack of backstraps or a game bag of sack meat. I ended up using my Cabela's big game frame pack which holds a hind quarter and 1 sack meat. There is no way possible to get that kind of carry out from this frame pack. On a positive note, it is very comfortable and supportive and relatively quiet when hunting through thick oak brush, high ground vegetation, and blow down.
