Anybody used the Badlands ox to haul serious loads ? I have-had and still-have a number of great packs (Mystery Ranch, Sitka, Lowe, etc), but for hauling moose quarters I have mostly used an ancient Camp Trails freighter frame with the Moose Bag. The bag itself has given up the ghost, I've replaced the web belt, some of the pins, etc. And it always felt like a short ladder strapped to my back anyway. So anybody had much experience with it ? Thanks ahead of time folks.
I only had up to about 45# in mine and found it as comfortable as when it was empty.
i havent used it in the feild, but have thought about buying one for the same reason. look forward to hear others experiances with it
I was on a recent Blacktail hunt with a few friends on Kodiak Island. One of the hunters had the OX and was very pleased with it. He hauled out two blacktails, quartered out from the summit of one of the mountains we were on and he said the pack did a fine job.
It's one I am considering as well.
Thanks guys. Anybody else ?
