Montana elk hunting with Mystery Ranch
The first bull I ever killed was about three and a half miles from the truck. Our packs that fall were daypacks that weren’t meant to carry 80-100+ pounds of meat. Fortunately it was almost all downhill to the truck and the only reminder the next day was a very sore back and shoulders. At that time we understood the importance and benefit of having a high quality pack that makes your job easier and lessens the stress on your body when packing out an elk. This season we were fortunate to enough to team up with Mystery Ranch Backpacks and get our hands on their Longbow hunting pack. The pack turned out be be a totally bomproof and versatile pack. Opening morning of Montana’s elk archery season we were able to give it a full test as our good friend Tyler shot his first bull with us. Last fall we put this short video together to give you a taste of some of our elk footage to come and highlight the Longbow.
Mystery Ranch came out with their new Metcalf this year and we can’t wait to give it a test this spring. Be looking for some more hunting footage here in the next couple weeks as our second bear hunt will be released to get everyone stoked to chase black bears.

Isn’t this the truth?! I’ll never forget my first multi-day trip that I made into the backcountry all by my lonesome. I was wearing a 2200 CI “day pack” that was really only meant to pack some essentially and your spotting scope…not several days worth of gear. By the time I made it seven miles in; I was really second guessing my sainity! LOL.
MR packs are everything that they are cracked up to be. My favorite tagline is “only your legs know how much you are carrying” (this is trademarked; so don’t try to steal my quote! LOL).
Great video production; you guys keep getting better and better!
