I like mine. Never did weigh this load and didn't even end up packing it but about 100 yards before deciding I was going to end up hurting myself, but the pack handled it fine.
2 boned out hind quarters, the euro skull and antlers plus everything that I started out with in my pack that morning other than the food that I had eaten during the day.
I ended up pulling one of the hind quarters out and carried/rolled it down the mountain before I ended up losing it off a cliff in the dark and had to come back for it the next morning.
I took a tumble (really more of a slide) on the way out that night and did rip the stitching off where the gun sling attaches to the frame, but I was able to cinch it back on and continue on. I need to send it in to get it re-attached but I keep procrastinating.
