The Mystery Ranch Metcalf Backpack is an all-around workhorse. It has enough volume for more than a week in the field but compresses enough for an afternoon stalk. The Guide Light Frame gives the Metcalf ample heavy-weight capacity. The Overload feature keeps bag contents clean when packing out a carcass. This pack is a favorite among hunters looking for versatility and all-around utility.

Great day pack for hunting. Love the bladder pocket. Very spacious and lightweight. The drop down shelf is perfect for a stand or tree limb watch.

I can’t say enough good about this pack. It is simple to carry a bow through the woods, and it should work for a firearm as well. It has ample storage for all the gear I take into the stand/blind with me, and some nice waist pockets for things I would like to keep close at hand while walking. I wish that the waist pockets would adjust so I could slide them on the waist strap, but not enough to knock this pack down from five stars.

Purchased this after my old day pack wore out. The pack has just enough capacity for a day pack. It also includes double seam stitching and quality workmanship. This is the first ALPS pack I’ve owned, and I’m hoping that this will last me at least a couple of hunting seasons; but time will tell.
