Get out and kill some wolves to make pacific wild mad. Then drop the "all so good meat" on their door step.

Pacific Wild lead a campaign against the draft grey wolf management plan for BC, as the plan includes lethal measures. Definitely not a pro hunting organization - if MEC floats PW expenses that for sure is not a good thing. It would be nice to see a list of organizations that recieve funds from MEC.
The World is run by those that show up.

MEC has a lot of good stuff for out-of-hunting but personally I wouldn't be happy if they really are outright against hunting. Do you guys have some proof that they're contributing to anti-hunting groups or lobbying as such?

Couple other packs that carry big loads
REI xt 85 supposedly can fit a Kifaru waistbelt on it.
Deuter air contact pro 70+15
These both carry big loads

It's all been posted here before, they do give money to groups that bridge the gap, so to speak.

Well - hopefully this is a more useful response to the OP... I tried the Ibex, because for an internal frame pack, I found it to have a ton of extra storage pockets that most don't have. Also the price point was good. But in the end, I ended up going for the Arcteryx Bora. Absolutely hands down a way better pack. Better fit, better quality, better design, though I will concede not better price (by a long shot). My opinion is that there is no better internal frame pack for mountain hunting than the boras.
BTW, the built in water bottle holders that are on both sides work perfectly for a water bottle (one one side) and a rifle butt stock on the other. The bottle holder plus the side straps makes for the most secure rifle holding system for a non-hunting specific pack I've ever seen.
Long and the short of it is that I've totally abused mine for over 5 years now, massive weights etc etc and it's performed flawlessly.

PI've used several different internal frame packs, including an Ibex. Save your money and buy the Bora 95. The weight difference between a Bora 80 and 95 is well worth the extra space. Plus the 95 has actual load stabilizer rods for big loads. The Ibex would be great for smaller trips and what it was meant for... Backpacking on a budget. The Arc' Teryx Bora is the bomb. Simple. I've also used the Gregory Whitney, another 95 litre pack. The harness and backpad are a major weak point. One other huge load hauler is the Osprey argon 110. Expensive, but they have great reviews.
"The credit belongs to the man who is actually in the arena, whose face is marred by dust and sweat and blood; who strives valiantly; who errs, who comes short again and again, because there is no effort without error and shortcoming; but who does actually strive to do the deeds; who knows great enthusiasms, the great devotions; who spends himself in a worthy cause."
-Theodore Roosevelt France, 1910
