Preferred saddle hunting bag

Popup 28 for me. Platform or stand (upside down, seat facing back) in the load shelf. Layers in the bag, saddle in the bag, repel rope in dump pouch on right side of PU 28 waist belt molle, Sladder in dump pouch on left side of PU 28 waist belt molle.

I used the Kuiu venture Divide 2000 all last season. Picked it up on sale for $150. I love the size of it for walking in deep. Not too big not too small. I can fit my sticks, saddle and platform (xl) easily. I even used it through late season when I’m typically packing in my outerwear. It’s surprising how much you can stuff into this pack. When I get to the tree I’m able to access everything without a zipper as well which is a plus. Only concern Id have is if you’re planning to pack out quarters rather than boning out. Otherwise it’s been awesome.

Hello, I have a couple of questions. Is your platform a Tethrd Predator XL? Any issues with durability on the divide pocket taking the platform in and out for a whole season? Looks like from your pictures the divide stretch material is stretched out pretty far. Any knowledge on the Divide 3000? - the divide pocket looks to be closer to your back but fir some reasons looking at the dimensions the pocket is smaller than the Predator XL. Thanks for any info you can provide - Brian
