ALPS OutdoorZ Pursuit Pack, Realtree Edge - NEW

I think I may have finally found my last hunting pack. Unfortunately I haven't used it in the field yet but just looking at it and loading my gear, it seems great. Smaller storage pocket has several internal smaller elastic mesh pockets to individually store your small items like knives, gloves, beanies and other stuff. The outside mesh pockets on the corners are large and fit a range finder very easy. The straps holding the outside pocket which folds down like a small table are strong and should hold well. The waist strap has a good size pocket on each side and is removable if not needed. I already fitted my rifle and bow in the sling and they both strap down tight and secure. The hydration pocket for a bladder is great. It will fit my 3 liter bag no problem and there is a nice plastic clip on the right shoulder strap to clip in the drink tube. There are also 2 clips to hold the water bladder at the top so the bag won't fall to the bottom of the pocket. Large storage pocket will fit plenty of gear and clothing. I think I could fit enough in there for a 3 day hunt. Rain cover and bow/rifle sling store away very neat and will stay out of the way if not needed. Zippers are very strong and pull tabs are held open with ribber coating for easy access with gloves. The pictures show a bow quiver attached to the side. Quiver is NOT included but shows how they easily attach to the side. Retail price from Alps OutdoorZ web site is $129.00 so Amazon's price is a great deal. I got mine a bit cheaper but I think Amazon made a pricing mistake so I won't tell you what I paid. I don't think anyone would be disappointed with this pack.This is the 3rd hunting specific backpack I've bought in the last 3 years. I also have a Badlands Source pack and GamePlan Gear Over-N-Under 3-in-1 Pack System. Both are really nice in their respective ways but I think the Alps Pursuit pack has finally given me everything I need. Hope this helps and happy hunting!UPDATE 7/8/19: I've been using the pack in the field for turkey and deer hunting the past 2 years and it has lived up to everything I hoped it would be. Strap system works well for carrying either a rifle or bow and I have strapped both to the back. Will hold large size water bladder and all the gear you need for a full day or 2 trip. I have no complaints at all about this pack and nothing on this pack has failed to include zippers and stitching. You won't be disappointed with this pack.

Basically, I was looking for a backpack that I could take hunting and use for any outdoor activities so I didn't have to use my school backpack. So, I bought this and here are some thoughts:-PROS--A lot of straps available to fit to many different body width's and height allowing it to sit very comfortable for a long period of time.-Metal back plate adds to the stiffness and strength of the backpack.-Extra padding on straps and back to ensure EVEN MORE comfort (I honestly can't stress how comfortable carrying around a lot of weight around in this is.)-A lot of room (as expected)-Extra clips rings for carabiners, keys, and any type of clips on front and in front pocket-Hydration pack READY (not included)-Rain Cover, Rifle Holder & XL Side Pockets-Front front fanny pack thing on the belt is one of my favorite things! All your needs right on your front hip while you're out in the field!!I personally love the rifle holder for those long hunting walks and you don't want to carry it anymore or maybe you luckily got your hands full and need to lock it up!!-Cons--The middle compartment was a little smaller than anticipated but the extra big pocket made that okay.Overall, I love it. Ive only had it for a few months but have abused it and it looks brand new still. Its very comfortable to wear and everyone should buy it, how can you not at that price also??

Bought this pack to use as a day bag for a pack trip in Washington and it was awesome. The Orange rain cover worked perfectly, the hydration bladder I had fit without issue and there was ample room to carry extra items, rain gear, etc. The smaller front pocket was fantastic for keeping small things handy and the side pockets on the waist belts were great for carrying a range finder in one, plus as a bonus it's removable so I was able to use the main pack as my carry on bag. the rifle sling on the back will hold a fully scoped Smith and Wesson M&P 10 without a wobble or concern that the rifle was not secure. Stood up well to brush rubbing against it and me falling on it as I tried to get off a horse.
