I agree with Davidmil on getting a larger pack. After all, you don't have to fill it up. I was in the same position two seasons ago, and when I was ready to enter my CC # on Cabelas I decided to go see what ebay had. I ended up buying a really nice, brand new pack from a place called something like Packusa or Packwarehouse. But anyway it had all the features I was looking for and looked to be almost exactly like the one I was going to buy for around $100. I went ahead with the buy it now price of like $28. After tax and shipping it was around $35. It is still a little on the small side if you were going to go back packing, but great for an all day hunt. Mine is stuffed completly full and I carry - rain coat, thermos, water bottles, piss bottle, binoculars, MRE's (just in case), hot seat, rope, multi tool, extra hat/gloves/socks, small survival kit, calls and lures. It too has chest and stomach straps, which I think is a great feature. Not only for not having the pack feel as if it wants to slide off your shoulders at the wrong time, but also to strap it to a tree so that it is near you and not in your way when you stand up in your stand. It also has two straps on the back for extra cargo which comes in really handy when hoisting up the tree. I use them to secure my bow.
