Continued thanks for the advice guys. Pack frame or no pack frame I'll get it out if I have to carry it out on my back on top of me, no matter how many trips it takes..........with my buddy's help of course.

While mentioning pack frames, does anyone have any experience with Black Ridge frames/backpacks? I can find no info/pics on the web, but Keystone Country Store sells one called the Puma, and says the frame has a meat shelf.
