Hunting Backpack Review Announcement 2018

I am super excited to announce that we will be conducting a hunting backpack review over the next couple of months. I have been unable to contractually review backpacks for a few years and its time to find the next best pack to suit my needs, so I figured you all could benefit from my journey. So for me and the way I to hunt is I often operate from a truck camp or motel so I treat most of my hunting as a day pack type hunt. But i also like to get away from people and I also like to be efficient so i like my packs to be organized, lightweight , nimble and still have the capability to pack out an animal when the time comes. Nothing drives me more nuts then having to go back to the truck empty handed to go grab a frame…. well maybe the other thing that drives me nuts just as much is having to tear apart my whole pack to get to one thing I need. Anyway, so I will be reviewing a few different packs in what I call the Day+ category.
