I've had mine for 6 weeks or so. The nine day wilderness trip I had planned didn't happen so it's just been day hunts.
At first I tried to use the wings to contain everything, unless they are full, it just adds baggy bulk. I ended up stuffing the wings between the bag and frame and just using the compression straps to hold it all tight.
How I load it for day hunts:
The bottom is big enough I can stuff puffy pants/coat, rain pants/coat, gloves, knit hat and extra orange vest in it.
Top compartment gets the day gear. Extra box of ammo or two extra mags depending on rifle, toilet paper/wipes, fire kit, first aid kit, 2-1 liter smart waters, misc pouch (w/cord, ribbon, contractor bag, range finder battery, power bank and charge cords), kill kit and 1 or 2 Butthole Sandwich(s).
I hunt with my wife often so depending on how long I/we will be out, I'll add Jet boil, food, cup, coffee and appropriate extra water.
I don't run the lid as a day pack but still have plenty of room for an extra shirt or whatever and still compress it down tight when it nearly empty.
On the outside I have a Molinator in the shock cord and a jellyfish in the left stretch pocket, sissy stix and tripod on left side if I take it.
If I'm hunting, my rifle is in my hand. If I'm point A to B or otherwise need my hands, rifle goes on the right side. Again, top compression strap keeps it all tight.
I haven't packed meat with it yet, but I'll do a more detailed review after I do as well as a multi day trip.
Because I don't run the lid for day hunts, I wish it had a pocket inside one of the zipper flaps for small things like spare ammo/mags, lighter etc.
I keep 1 spare mag on my bino harness but secondary mags I'd like to have more accessible.
