    Get a day pack with decent shoulder straps and waist band so you can still carry a reasonable load comfortably. We have a Pikau styled day pack and whilst it is good just to carry a few things for the day, it is next to useless for carrying any load when you shoot something.

    I'm starting to think the other way. I used to hunt with a pikau or pack with flat nylon straps, then upgraded to flasher bigger packs but find the padded straps are effing hopeless when shouldering the rifle to take a shot. Butt of rifle is unstable, and eye doesn't line up with sights like it usually does. Okay in more open country when you can take the pack off before taking a shot, but not much good bush stalking.

    All you need to do is keep your hip belt tight and slip your shouting arm out when you think a shot might be on - I do it all the time no drama.
