So far I have used the Pop up for cat hunting and I love it and have no doubt it will be great for big game day hunts, guiding, shed hunting and any other single day trips. The compact size doesn't get in the way at all whether I am driving a snowmobile, throwing it in the pickup or hiking through the trees, much better than the bigger pack I used to cat hunt with. I am 6' 2" and the pack fits my torso well after some easy adjustments and all the pockets and compartments have plenty of room for all the gear I need. I haven't packed anything out on the frame yet, but after messing with the bag a little bit and looking at the frame I know most pack-outs won't be an issue. This little pack will do it all.
My only complaint is that I will have to alter my normal pistol holster that is a belt carry style holster as the belt area is too small for my pistol on this bag, which won't be an issue with the molle webbing on the hip pads.
Overall this is an awesome day pack that will accomplish everything you need it to on 95% of day hunts.
The forager pouch is perfect quick access to items you use regularly. I always store my headlamp and a few extra batteries in here, which is a necessity on an early morning hunt!
