I have used this bag quite a bit from ground hunting to saddle hunting. It really proved it's worth when I started one sticking. This bag was great, I used the bow holder to carry my stick. It has plenty of room to carry water and all my stuff. Bonus is its light enough to climb with so I can go up with it then haul my bow or rifle. When I use a tree stand I can leave my bow in the bag and haul it all up together.
