    Yeah I forgot to look at it while at camp. :throw: That would have helped make the choice. I might just go with the badlands superday pack and hook it onto the back of the stand.

    Alright turns out they have now discontinued that pack and are working on the replacement version for it. I am waiting on a return call tonight from the owner of Blacks Creek though because he thinks he still has one at his house that he could sell me.

    That makes sense now that I couldn't find it on the website. Good luck on getting one. I guess that pushes me towards a badlands pack more now.

    I have the 3:16 pack and love it. I'm not sure it's big enough to fit your camera inside without taking the XLR adapter off though. I typically strap my camera arm to the pack itself and then carry the camera in a separate shoulder bag from Gray Wolf Woolens. Works like a charm!

    3.5 days of work left until we depart for WI archery season. Can't wait!

    Hmm how often do you carry a stand in with that pack on? I would be doing this every time. I am having a hard time deciding between putting the stand on over a fanny pack style pack or attaching the a backpack to the back of the stand.

    I was thinking I'd head back to Illiannoy for the opener. To get my doe at the park before Deb and Oly shoot them all.

    But then again, I have this Utah cow elk tag that's good from Oct 5-17..... hmmmm..... decisions......

    The people of Illinois called and said they don't want you back. You're a troublemaker.

    Those must be the same people who voted in Blago twice, Obama five times, Quinn, a tax on floating down the river on an inner tube.....

    It will be a cold day before those people and I have any love for each other. ;)

    Yep I know where that it. I'm going to school down here but I'm getting to know the areas better since this is my 2nd year here.

    Don't forget the fee to ride your own ATV on private property. That's one of my favorites.

    I always have my bow in my truck. I shoot at an outdoor range in Urbana its right next to the dark park I pay 20 dollars and I get a key to go when ever I want. They also have 3D shoots there. If the weather is crappy I will head to hunters haven to shoot.

    I have heard about that place but never been. I just shoot in my yard or over at blueridge backwoods in Monticello.
