Yes, it's big enough for that as long as you don't have a lot of layers, but the flimsy straps aren't great for carrying weight.What about the main compartment for Saddle. Tie in rope and strap on platform for Ratchet Ameristeps?
Can you cinch an extra coat to the outside?
I struggle with packs a lot. I've not found one that works perfectly. My Alps Outdoorz Pursuit Pack was working really well until I started carrying camera gear. Now I'm back to square 1.
I recently picked up a badlands silent reaper. I haven't hunted with it yet, but it seems to be able to organize me gear and carry it out nicely. Late season will require a bigger pack to deal with extra clothes, but so far I like it.

There is a line of molle loops there, I'll take a picture tonight.Ernie, how are you attaching your platform (I think) to the front of the pack?

This is what I currently have and I love it. I need to figure out how to incorporate it into my saddle hunting( stick and Ernie's) transport.I like my Cabela's Transporter Lumbar pack with shoulder straps, keeps you carrying just the things you need with enough room to stash a layer or two if you use the outside compression straps which is useful in the south where you just cant hike in with a jacket and not sweat, but don't wanna be cold once you get set up. I have even quatered(or de-boned) out a deer using it by putting the meat in a game bag and setting it in the main compartment with the lid open and lashing it to the shoulder straps, works pretty well surprisingly.
How much does your set up weigh?I use a 5.11 Rush 12
It fits my saddle, water, linesman belts, etc inside and I strap my spurs to the outside.
This is everything I take but my bow...

I have this pack as well. Mine is from 2006 and still going strong. I wish that they still made it. It is well thought out and perfect for deer hunts.I like my Cabela's Transporter Lumbar pack with shoulder straps, keeps you carrying just the things you need with enough room to stash a layer or two if you use the outside compression straps which is useful in the south where you just cant hike in with a jacket and not sweat, but don't wanna be cold once you get set up.
