Versatile pack. Small and compact enough for short hunts, but expands enough to pack all gear for long day hunts and even over night trips. I like the ability to shove a quarter or more into the pack and still have comfort. When loaded down, the frame and customized fit prevents the straps from digging into my neck and shoulders. I have packed out countless critters with this pack and have not broke or ripped anything. Only thing I don't like is how far the brain of the pack hangs out over the back. Sometimes feels like it is sagging off the back. Overall I recommend this pack for western hunting.
I have been able to fit an entire quartered antelope, mountain goat, boned out whitetail, boned out mule deer, boned out bear, as well as rear elk quarters, and even turkeys into this pack.
