This. About as good a pack as I've found. Bit noisy in the Bush but easily overcome with a fleece as above

Just seen to that twineedle have some new Molly side pouches. Would probably fit the huntaway to for additional 10 litter capacity.

They’re just in the final stages of designing a new version of the Big Molly as well. Due to market soon. Not sure what capacity of the new version will be yet, but the old Big Molly was about 50L.

I have been really happy with the Tatonka Norix 48ltr for a day pack and overnighter, comfortable carry with an adjustable harness, compresses down well, reasonably lightweight and good functionality. Manages a full load of meat pretty well over long distances. Tried the huntech 40ltr previously and as mentioned above it is good for bush hunting after the first couple of loads of meat the stitching started pulling away where the hip belts attach to pack and there really is not much purchase when looking at what is holding it together. Prefer using a five pocket hip belt when bush stalking. I have seen the Norix now comes in a stealth/fleece fabric but I have not seen one in person, could be a good option.
