Looking for suggestions on the best back pack available. Looking for a lite weight all in one pack, that can also haul out some meat.
Thanks.

The list is nearly endless...what's your price? How big do you need it to be? Hunting for the day, weekend, week?

Stone Glacier.
You will also get recommendations for Kifaru, Exo and Seek Outsides pack. Mystery Ranch is a fan favorite on this site, however you did mention lite weight but you will still get several recommendations for them. Maybe a recommendation or 2 for Kuiu.
Get your checkbook out.

Can't go wrong with the Mystery Ranch Metcalf. Solid colors, Sub Alpine, women's version, etc. Works great pared down as a daypack, removable lid, and MR pioneered the Overload Shelf, so meat hauling is easy.

Yes, it is. I've owned a Mystery Ranch and my Kifaru is a much better pack.

Are you talking to me? Have you ever used a Kifaru? I packed out 4 animals with mine this fall. The Mystery Ranch that I had didn't feel as good with heavy loads. Mystery Ranch seems to be more of a one size fits all type pack. I know you can order it in S, M, L, and such, but Kifaru asks for all of your measurements and sets up a pack just for you. Also, their belt and lumbar system is far superior in my opinion.

Mystery Ranch makes some of the best packs on the market..... I have a Outdoorsman Optics Hunter pack and I love it, quality is there and it is very functional. I would also look into the Kuiu packs..... All three companies make quality packs!

I personally drank the koolaid and got a Mystery Ranch Marshall, is it the best...maybe...I like it.

My suggestion is to see if you can put your hands on a couple different ones to see which one you like the best. I did this before purchasing mine, I looked at mystery ranch, Exo, stone glacier and kuiu. I ended up with kuiu. Is it the best? I don’t know, but I know I am very happy with the pack. There was just a couple things I didn’t like about the others.

That is pure ignorance, but a great line.

I should have mentioned....with you being in MN, you are welcome to stop over and check out my MR pack if you like. It's hard to find one in MN to check out in the stores.

Take these friendly MN guys up on their offers to let you try them in person. You guys can stand around with packs on and talk about Kirk Cousins
