Best pack for saddle hunters that pack game out

A lot of guys use the Mystery Ranch Pop Up series. I have a 28 and love it although I haven't packed a deer out yet, it's very possible, been done by many, and on my list for this year. If you're patient and look hard enough they can be found used for $200, or new on sale for $220 and up. Seems steep and I said the same, but that's nothing compared to some of the others. The ones that Cline mentioned are great, but they are even more expensive($100-$400 more) but I believe they could indeed make pack outs even easier.

It's all relative, a lot of guys buy a new bow every year, don't do that for 2 years and you can get a really nice pack.

I bought my mystery ranch pop up 28 for $260.00 it was right after new year's eve they told me they lower the price because they want get rid of old stock. I bought my mind online all prices dropped on mystery ranch dropped. The mystery ranch pop up is a game changer for mobility you can feel the difference right away. Other than my tree saddle its the second best equipment I use for mobile hunting.

I've had 2 of them, the older style and the newer one. I picked up the newest one from mountain arechery when they had a sale. It was $215.xx otd. They were both nice but I definitely like the improvements on the newer style. One of the only things I wish they would change, is put molle/straps on the front like the Pintler for smaller stuff. I don't always want to put stuff on the load shelf. Can be easily fixed with aftermarket mods but it would be easy enough to fix.

I never had a framed backpack before so I was very ignorant on how important they are. Before I used a climbing tree stand and used a hunting fanny pack. I can put my hip boots for marsh areas and walk with my mock boots. I also carry my 2lbs ghillie suit which is really nice and don't feel the weight. I also plan on buying a inflatable kayak so can cross rivers I pack that in my load shelf. I bought mystery ranch pop up a this year so think its a newer version .

Easiest way to to tell is the tent pole style. If yours slide up and down and lock into place it's the newer version, if the flip up, then it's the older.
