I am thinking about trying a different pack for those times when I'll be out in the field for long periods of time. If I'm not far from the truck and don't plan on being out long then I try to just leave the pack in the truck and stuff my pockets, but if I'm gonna be out at least half a day or all day then I need a pack. I have been using a Camelbak hunting pack and its pretty good, about the right size but I think I want to find something that doesn't have 2 shoulder straps. A regular backpack is nice for hiking, but its a pain when you're also toting a rifle and I can't shoot with the pack on. The two solutions that look the best are the Blacks Creek Predator Paradise and the Primos Predator Vest. I'm leaning more towards the Blacks Creek pack because I'm kinda skeptical about a vest and I'm not sure that it has enough storage capacity for an all-day hunt but I'm not sure it may be just what I'm looking for. Anyone have any experience with either of these? How do you like them compared to a regular pack? My main issue with a regular pack is just carrying a rifle with it, and I have an AR that I have been just using a regular sling with but plan on getting a side-mount sling and carrying it across my chest or back so I definitely couldn't do that with a regular pack.
Thanks,
Matt
