By Ranked #850 - Weekend Packs (3000-4500 cu in) March 25, 2011

I'm convinced, after weeks and weeks of research, the Argon is the back for me. I have one question I can't figure out... If I wanted to use this pack for hunting as well as backpacking does anyone know if the 70 is big enough for an Elk quarter or should I get the 85?
Thanks in advance

Seriously? Even a small elk is 400 lbs...a quarter of that is close to 100 after gutting. You will appreciate the extra space of the 85 I'm guessing.
