This is a picture of a awesome bear that I got this spring. I was lucky enough to draw a Kodiak tag and this is the result. We hunted hard and after 8 days and over 70 miles I put my badlands 4500 to the test but I found this bear. He was 10'8" from claw to claw and 9'5" from noise to tail. His skull was a Boone & Crockett at 27 & 5/16". This was a self guided hunt, shooting a 375 H & H with a 270 grain bullet.

Heres a Idaho muley in my 2800, not the best pic or the biggest buck, but he was still heavy Laughing

Just wandering not trying to start a fight about pack wieghts, but!

I had my 2200 this year in CO lined with a heavy duty trash bag so I wouldn't have to wash the pack. Stuffed the main compartment as full as it would go and still zip shut. I fit all the deboned meat off of one back leg and both front legs of a young adult cow elk and when I got home wieghed the meat and it was only 65lbs.

Surely bones don't weigh that much more per volume than meat do they? So how are people coming up with over 100 lbs in there 2200's with out strapping a bunch on the outside?
