I've used a lot of packs over the years but I'm sure loving the EXO pack. It has a meat shelf & can pack a lot of weight fairly comfortably IMO. They designed this pack very well.
I drew the premium/multi-season bear permit for the La Sal unit in Utah. Does anyone have some experience with the "bear lollipop" for bait? I'd like to give it a try & have a few questions. Thank you!
I know 251 is good but I don't have any personal experience there. Other than that, I would suggest the units in the northeast corner...076, 077, 079, 081 & 091 unit group. There's always some great bucks in there.
My hunting has been very limited recently due to starting a new job, but I was able to do 2 great hunts this year. Both were elk hunts, one in Utah & one in Nevada. The Utah tag was on the Manti unit helping my brother kill his very first bull elk on the muzzleloader hunt. It had been a dream...
I use the Rock Deluxe in combination with the Deadshot rear bag. I'd like to try the Caldwell Lead Sled but I was advised not to because it doesn't allow for natural recoil. I'm not entirely sure if that is a bad thing or not.
I use this one for backpacking & have really liked it. It only weighs just over 2.5 lbs.
