Day Pack for Big Game
« on: September 02, 2013, 01:54:20 PM »
I am looking for a new day pack for big-game hunting, and wanted to see if anyone had any suggestions.

- Using it mainly for deer and elk
- Will be used for day trips, not extended trips
- Looking around 1500-2000 cu in
- Would like a hydration system as part of it
- Needs a mix of compartments

Let me know if you have any suggestions. Thanks.

Here are a few pics ...

Looks nice, but a little smaller than I am looking for. Do you know how many cubic inches it holds? I like the scabbard for sure!

The main pack is about 400 ci.  There's a pull-out mesh bag on the bottom that allows it to expand to about 900 ci.
