Nice little pack!
"Perfect for short hikes up to all day hunts as long as you’re traveling light. I can fit all the basics, plus a small spotter and food/water for the day in there and pack out an animal if I’m lucky! The mule does it’s job."

Breakdown
The Mule Bag Only fits on the Guide Light MT Frame and the Pop Up Frame. It will not fit on the Guide Light Frame (The frame that comes with 2019 and earlier Metcalfs, Marshalls, and Pintlers). When this bag only is attached to a frame it creates a workhorse that is perfect for hauling the maximum amount of weight in the overload shelf. You can use this setup for day hunts or as a dedicated meat packing setup. It is also a great option for shed hunters. While the Mule was designed with the western mountain hunter in mind it is also very effective in the whitetail woods for packing in a tree stand.

"Great day pack!"
"As described. On time shipping"
"Love it perfect day hunt pack"
"I intended on using this bag with my frame from the Mystery Ranch beartooth I have for a tree stand pack for Whitetails. The Mule may be an ok pack for western day hunts but in the tree I could see it being a nightmare. Flimsy, Loud, and just not what I expected from MR. With that said the process through GoHunt was great and as usual the Customer Support was excellent. GoHunt alone earned the 3 stars… The Mule itself, not so much."
"Easy access,less wt and easier to get to meat bag behind Mule bag"
"This pack is great for day hunts and public land whitetail hunting. Carry just what you need with 100% ability of packing meat . Tip, get the extra straps from mystery ranch and it makes strapping bow on to pack a breeze."
"I used it on my Pinter frame. Great for a small pack to carry back and forth to a deer stand."
"With the Metcalf's Guide Lite MT frame bag options you actully have 3 bags in one. My several day outing with the regular Metcalf Bag, my afternoon hike with the mule bag, and my back strap meat hauler. Amazing versatility!"
"Using it predominately for whitetail day hunts when the hike is too long to drag a deer. I could easily spend a night or two in the woods with this pack also. Great quality bag, zippers are what you’d expect from Mystery Ranch."
