My buddy & I each bought the Alaskan Packs from Cabela's in 1995. He just got the frame, I got the frame with the pack. We've both used ours over many trips and have packed a lot of elk, deer and caribou over the terrain. The pack will carry all that you want on your back at one time. When we pack we usually tie the bigger, awkward pieces on my buddies frame, just tie it on with some light rope. The other smaller pieces go in the bag on my frame and away we go. We've also used game bags and boned meat right on the spot and either tied the bags to the frame, or put them in my bag, and carried them back to camp. I like mine and would buy another. If you packed for a living or were on a 2-week pack back pack sheep hunt, you might want to spend more, but for packing an animal or two each fall you'll like it. Good boots are probably more important.
