Hello...New here to this forum. Spent a lot of time on archerytalk before being told about this forum. Anyway... I am in the process of upgrading some of my equipment and my pack is one of them. I am looking between the slumberjack snare 2000 and the Badlands day pack. I\'m not planning on backpacking in and camping. I do however have a pack that can handle that. I\'m looking for a quality day pack that if I\'m lucky enough could throw a qtr in and get back to camp and get my frame to haul meat out on.

I use the Badlands Superday for all my hunting. Love it.
Its prob not the best pack for packing out a quarter elk, but it will.
The advantages of its primary use outweighs the quarter hauling part.
Im a not familiar with the Slumberjack
Here is a pic of a 1/2 WT deer tied on to my Superday and packing it out

Welcome vthokee!
Instead of the Bandlands Day, consider the Eberlestock X2. Great day pack and has a small external frame to help pack out quarters.
I own both and will choose the X2 before the Bandlands.

Welcome to the forum vthokee. I am hardly an expert on packs. I get one and keep it for years. I have it long after they are no longer in style. I have had great experience with my Badlands pack. It is about 10 years old now, so I can say it has held up well and fits.

Welcome, Alan!
I had a Badlands Superday that I used for 3 years. Besides problems with seams splitting/ zippers, I really didn\'t like shooting with the pack on, too much weight up high on the shoulders. I use it for a workout pack nowadays with a lead brick in it.
I have a Trailblazer II from Crooked Horn that I am using now, it has a flap/pocket that folds down in the back that you can slip your bow in, or a front quarter if needed. All the weight stays low on back, so it is very comfortable to shoot with. Typically I walk around with about 25 to 30 pounds in it all day long. I have shot a 3D tournament while wearing it.
A very comfortable and durable day pack, and gets my first load out so I can get to my meat frame.

The pack I used last year was the Full Curl. It will be very tough to find another that tops it. You can get the pack with/without the bivy sack.
