Antelope review

The bag has great construction and is perfect for day hunts that might require packing out an animal. The straps are really comfortable and I appreciate the streamlined design. I do wish it had a little bit more capacity and that the shoulder straps didnt make so much noise when hiking but its perfect for what I need. If it had more space I think it would encourage more packing and just make the pack heavier. I would appreciate a few more internal pockets to hold small items

And the kitchen sink

I purchased this pack for deep hunts in the Adirondack mountains for whitetail. Check the picture. What’s in it? So far 2xl pyre bibs, 3xl pyre jacket, bonfire neck gaiter, latitudes entire lonestar saddle kit, platform saddle 4 sticks knee pads the works. Grunt calls knives, rubber gloves. 6x8 tarp. Extra rope. Extra socks. Gloves. Orange stocking cap. Lighter, license, flashlight, game bags. I was worried this bag wouldn’t hold my clothes for the long hike in. But it all fits with room to spare. Easily fitting a caped buck and all the deboned meat in it with the extension.

Great and comfortable! But…

Pack is great and comftorable. Took it on a 8 mile hike out in Trinity looking for blacktail with about 40-50 lbs in it. The only issues I have are I wish the bottom of the pack had a way to gain access so I don’t have to pull everything out to get something from the bottom. My biggest issue is that it is very squeaky. I have to posture certain ways to minimize the squeak when I’m trying to be quiet. All in all I’d still recommend this pack for a day or a 1-2 day pack in.
