Any Turkey hunters carry a blind in your 44 mag or Hoodlum, etc?

I have a Stryker thanks to a lot of great input from you folks on this site so thanks! It's almost perfect but I need just a bit more space, it seems i'm always carrying a bunch of stuff. I tpically day hunt and want to use my 26" frame. The only odd size thing I ever carry really is a DoubleBull. If I add a Hoodlum or 44 mag to my pack inventory can I still shove a blind in there and cinch it down? Open to any ideas or suggestions.

I have carried a barronet pentagon on the bottom of a 44mag. As long as I was just walking through ag fields it's no problem as it sticks pretty far out. If I were trying to sneak through the woods I would imagine that being pretty loud. This allows me to carry decoys, blind chair etc in the bag. I tried to like the feel of it in the bag but couldn't get that where I wanted it.

Thanks for the info! I was wondering if all that fit inside.

I had a 44 mag for a bit and did a mock turkey hunt pack up. I had a doublebull inside the bag along with 2 folding chairs. I used an extra compression strap around the bag and then through both top grab handles on the bag. My 2 decoys where held by a grab it and another extra compression strap. It was a little tall but would have worked fine had I still owned the bag. The 44 just didn't compress down enough for me for dayhunts and that's 99% of my hunting.

Thank you for the reply, that is good to know. Day Hunting is about all I do also. Leaning more towards reckoning I think.

if you are mostly day hunting, consider the Woodsman or 22 Mag pack.

I have a Reckoning, used on multi day/nights trip. Bought a 22Mag 2nd Gen for my daypack use. Both used on my 26" Kifaru frame. The Reckoning packed down ok for day pack use but just didn't like the bulky feel....so I have both packs, different use scenarios.

Thanks, that makes sense. Very tough for one pack to truly do it all. Any issues with running those shorter packs on the 26” frame?
