Looking for your good or bad input on the eberlestock blue widow backpack how it holds up the room of it if it's good for short or long hunts how it feels with meat in it
Thank you

The only drawback of BW is it's own weight; other than that it an awesome piece of gear, using it for a few years now, but mostly for one-two night trips and to haul meat out.

What does it feel like full of gear and meat?

I get quite a bit of use out of my blue widow, especially when combined with two super spike duffels.

I use it as a pack frame for my climber tree stand and use it as a meat hauler. The two super spike duffels help organize the gear keeping it module and in the off season it keeps everything together and organized.

I had one before I tried a top tier pack and thought it was ok. It had some shortcomings but every pack I had owned to that point was worse so I didn't realize how bad it really was. After I got out of the bottom end pack scene and tried a good pack that had excellent suspension and fit me properly I realized how bad all the previous packs I had owned really were.
If you don't pack much, very often for very far and got it really cheap it's probably worth a look but compared to a Kifaru/mystery ranch/ stone glacier pack its junk.

Good enought to carry whole mule doe meat (not deboned, quarters + trimmings and loins) and the rifle in the scabbard
