I just got one a few months ago and have used it a few times for a total of maybe 25 miles. I purchased the backpack straps in addition to the single strap and have only used it with the former. I really like the gunbearer system, although the lower sling stud on a couple of my rifles has a tendency to catch on the nylon strap, but not so much that it hinders getting off a fast shot, and certainly quicker than if it was slung over my shoulder. It's perfect for my one rifle that is fitted with flushcups.

I also have a possibles pouch that attaches to the belt, handy for a bottle of water, the dog leash, etc... and pretty unobtrusive once I got used to it.

All their gear is very sturdy and well made, I'll definitely be buying more.

I just used my Daystalker 3 days ago for a 6 mile hike with the dog in Alleghany State park here in New York. It was raining on and off pretty heavily at times, so I carried my rain gear, a light lunch, a small pouch with basic necessities and my camera. Everything stayed dry. I'm definitely happy with mine and can't wait to load it up for hunting season.

Bulldog, I initially bought a Day Stalker, tried it out and decided to exchange it for the next largest pack in their line, the Spike Camp. For my purposes the Day Stalker was a little too small. I like to carry extra clothes, lunch, emergency stuff, tools for quartering/hanging quarters, etc., in my day pack and the Day Stalker just didn't have the space I wanted, although it's a good pack. I really like the Spike Camp--it's got a pouch for a hydration bladder, plenty of room, and is small enough and contoured so that it still doesn't get in the way while you're sneaking through the brush. Plus, you can attach their Cargo Chair platform for hauling quarters.
