John: This bag is huge. It fits all my stuff from my 50l hunting bag in the bottom third of the bag. I'll have room for a sleeping bag, tent, sleeping pad a couple changes of clothes, and probably 5 or 6 days of food if properly packed. The bag, the pack out harness and frame are very well thought out. The rifle Sling is held in by 2 hinged pockets that hold a case of shells in each pocket, with room for extras like compass, maps, snacks, etc. The spotting scope pocket is a bit small. My 20 - 90x 65 scope is stretching the pocket a bit and I will either try to upgrade to a smaller scope or just put the scope in the main compartment and try to find a larger tripod to fit in that pocket. The pack out harness has pockets for GPS units, bear spray, and your trekking poles. Which fits over top of the bag. There are adjustment straps all over the place and it only took me about 5 or 6 pulls on a few of them for me to get the bag comfy half packed. I can imagine this will be very comfortable carrying a hind quarter out of the bush back to the quad this coming fall. If you're on the fence about this bag get it. For the price point it's very nice. It's a heavy bag so if you're...

TR: Took this hunting with about 85+ lbs packed on it for a 15 mile hike and after some comfort adjusting it performed great. The rifle holder is secure and keeps you gun from swaying around as well as close to your body. Plenty of pockets all over and the expandable bottom allowed for a ton of stuff to be packed.

Arthur: Of course the pack is great. Too bad it is made in China. It was very poorly boxed. The seam had ripped open and the bag holding circle clips was open and some were lost. Perhaps someday we can make this in our own country.

Amazon Customer:
Its a very bulky pack. Thats good and bad. Went on an elk hunt that ended 30 mins after shooting light. Spent the rest of the day packing off of a mountain. Parts that were good:
Well its got enough room for as much as you can lift. Before the hunt I used it to pack in 100 lbs of corn at a time on my oklahoma lease for my deer hunting. I would carry around my daughters on the shelf while mucking around at the farm. The spare pockets are great, and the basic idea is good.
cons:
After getting my elk down I packed out the first load and immediately cached my rifle at my pick up because it was flopping around while under weight.
Its bulky as hell. Yes you can carry as much as you can lift, but the frame catches any tree limbs. Lucky for me, I was hunting mostly timber less areas of the mountain. If i had to make my way through any brush with the weight, well Id probably still be packing it out.
The pockets are great if you're organized but its easy to loose stuff in the main compartment.
Final gripe. im 5'10 (guys, if you're 5'10 stop saying youre 6 foot tall) and with a full pack, and it properly set up on my body, the top of the frame was in...

Smoke Thornburg: Excellent pack. The link ups rattle so I would recommend taping them after purchase. I do 4 and 5 day pack hunts and I usually carry about 70lb of gear in with me on average. I have always over packed my Alice pack but after getting this pack. Night and day. I would like to have had more molly attachments and a few things I will be upgrading in the future but this pack is a great buy. While fully loaded with a long gun in carry it seems to favor the left side because the long gun is not in center carry. I offset this by how I put weight in the pack. Overall I am satisfied with my purchase.

bls: This pack is much larger than it appears on the images, it stands approximately 3 feet tall. This thing has plenty of room, and a metal bar that holds the top open. The top flap covers the upper half of the pack, which is nice, and at 7.2 pounds, is a manageable weight, but still feels extremely sturdy. The pins used to customize the size of the frame and placement of the shoulder straps come with cotter pins and rings. I recommend the rings, as the cotter pins will rotate and can poke you in the back and shoulders when moving. My only complaint, other than the cotter pins, is that it came with a secondary pack bag, which i won't use. I see the purpose in it, and i ordered the pack that came with it (I get that), but an option for a rain cover would have been nice. Further, for the purpose that i plan on using it, I will also drop the folding shelf to reduce the weight a little more. I have only taken it on one short hike, with a light load, but it seems to be sturdy. The zippers are large, solid, and tight, and the material appears like it will hold up to some abuse. Overall, I would recommend this pack, especially for the price point.

Nacho L.: Take the bar off the top of the pack it gets in the way while bushwacking, also the horn is a good place to hang your rifle while you hike. Only draw back is that it’s loud. It squeaks and the connections from the frame to the pack jingle a little. Great for getting all your gear up the mountain. Very comfy just wish it was a little quieter for hunting
