Opinions on MR Popup 30 or 40 for saddle hunting pack?

Does anyone use MR popup packs for saddle hunting?

I have the PU28 and have used it the past two years. I thinks it’s pretty well laid out, but like the looks of the 30 better due to the top lid area. My 28 isn’t as easy to get into. The load shelf works great for platforms and/or sticks. I also really like the adjustability of the height of the frame compared to my old X2.

Use the search, people ask about packs for saddle hunting roughly once every 3 weeks, theres at least two other threads above the scroll on this sub forum right now—so you’ll quickly get a sense for what people are using, including those. Yes, the MR popups seem to be relatively popular.

Theres a dozen or so threads here, I believe all of them have at least one post specifically on the popups, several have a number of them.

I had a MR Pop Up 30 for a very short time. I wasn't a fan of the top loading design and there wasn't a ton of organization options (interior pockets, etc.) so I ended up selling it. As a saddle hunter on the east coast primarily hunting whitetail, it seemed like the top loading design would be better suited for western hunts. I like being able to access things easily and quickly without making a lot of noise. This pack just didn't work that well for me.

I used the 38 model for a season saddle hunting. It worked well but does not have a ton of organization. I primarily hunt public so it was nice to have the meat shelf if needed. I would go with something smaller with more organization if you are not packing meat.
