Thread: Hunting with Trekking Poles

Grandpamac, a mate of mine used to hunt with an Eberlestock pack that had a scabbard for his rifle which ran centrally between the harness and the pack itself. I carried this for him a few times and to be honest I didn’t really like it. A couple of times I slipped over and found it difficult to get back up as you couldn’t sit upright with a rifle stuck between you and your pack - you had to roll over onto your front and lift yourself up. He had a Tikka T3 with a Gunworks suppressor so was fairly long, might work better with your Bergara.

I often carry a set of quad sticks that double as a trekking pole and they are a godsend when descending a steep hill with a heavy pack.
