That thing hugs like a teddy bear. I bought one a year or so ago and had it shipped to my brother to let him "test" run it for awhile. Ended up going on a trip with him this fall and being the nice guy I am, schlepped my Dana Terraplane and let him use the Outdoorsman's.
Long story short, we switched packs for a spell and I cussed him the rest of the way home. The frame is nice and flexible where it needs to be, good strap system, nice how the top "rail" extends about the bag to hang on to your rifle. Comfy. Fully packed it's on the wide side, but it keeps the all the weight closer to your back.
Wish I could comment about meat hauling......eh, maybe next time.
Needless to say, he's shopping for one now.
Schitfire and save matches, if it's good enough for Steven Rinella, it's more than good enough for me....
