This pack works great for day hunts: http://www.badlandspacks.com/stealth-hunting-pack.html

Don't look at the Source. It's the 1st thing I received from them I didn't like. The traps are unpadded and cheap. They traded me out with the Stealth and didn't upcharge me the difference.

That blue widow actually looks like a great pack. I just wish it came in a different color.

Three camo colors and solid earth.  That's more than a lot of other packs.  You looking for pink or chartreuse? :dunno:
Purple camo, actually....

Here is one for you.  And it won't even cost you $140 like the Badlands!!  Might even be able to get them to throw in a free purse for you too :chuckle:

Nice!

Room for a complete set of crayons (to wax my bowstring of course)

Kindly do not attempt to cloud the issue with too many facts.

Thanks for the advice guys!! :tup: I had forgotten that I have an ruck sack from the service, which I have carried pretty heavy loads in the past in. I think I am going to just use it for this upcoming season, hit up some more trade shows to see what I like and what fits( I think one is coming next weekend to Elma), and save my money to get what I really want. I figure that if we are going to stay up here I have to get into the PNW hunters mentality and kindly give the southern deer hunter mentality a rest  :chuckle: Thanks again for the help!!

So what you are telling me is that you are going to get out of the treestand and just sit in the truck while you drive around at 5mph with a wagon train of hunters held up behind you...NICE :chuckle: :chuckle:

Just funnin' ya!!

Seriously though, some of those deals on the Blue Widow are darn hard to pass on.  You could get one of those at a bargain and then save for an EXO, Kifaru or Stone Mountain for some time later.  That would be my plan, I think.  Life is too short to hunt without a quality pack.  And the Blue Widow is a quality pack that I think you, like me, will come to appreciate. 

When you do make the step up to the premium packs you will have a great backup or loaner in the truck.  I like it when I get back with the first load of meat and some guy stops by to tell me he would help but he doesn't have a pack.  "Well you know what?  I just happen to have a nice extra pack right here!" :o  It's worked so well over the years I usually have two extra packs in the back of the truck these days. :chuckle:
