Ok like a lot out there i'm looking at purchasing a new pack for 3-6 day pack in hunts. I have narrowed it down to these two packs. I see all kinds of people that love their MR 6500 but can't seem to find many posts about the Icons. Any one out their using an Kuiu Icon is so what you think of the packs?
 
I went to the Icon pack last fall. I really loved it. I packed out several animals including a Shiras and was amazed at how well it packed A LOT of meat. I used it all spring packing in bait, 50 pounds bags of feed, to my bear stands. Again all the weight was evenly distributed well and my hips were taking the brunt of it.

I usually pack in for 4-5 days and the pack is perfect for it. Plenty of room, multiple pockets and such to organize your gear. The straps are very comfortable.

I have been through several packs the last few years. I went to the Badlands Sacrafice to cut the weight and that is solid for up to about 3-4 days. My complaint is it was very uncomfortable to haul meat and I couldn't load a whole boned out deer and antlers in a couple of years ago. The Icon pack will allow an able bodied person to make it with your gear in a trip on a deer.
