Mother Technical Bird Hunting Pack - Hydration Compatible

Purchased for chukar hunting to replace a worn out Quilomene vest. Bladder pocket contacts the back so water will get hot, and has a small entry opening. I'll probably put the bladder in the large pocket on the rear. Good game bag, water bottle pockets for carrying dog water. Shell pockets (2) have magnetic and zip closures, each will hold about 25 shells (20ga). Fully cinched, waist belt is a little loose on my 32" waist (mine is labeled "regular" size).

Hunting in the Australian winter is a tough ask . The days still reach 30 degrees celsius . This Mother pack is just the thing ! Ample room for birds &/or bunnies . Water for yourself & your dog . Storage for gear . Great chest strap keeps the harness clear of gun mounts . Equal distibution of weight between shoulders & hips . BIG TIP : remove the magnets from the cartridge pouch if you carry a compass .

I am very pleased with the overall design, quality and craftsmanship of the Mother Technical Bird Hunting Pack. It has all the advantages of a small, technical backpack, tailored to the bird hunter. My main concern was that the shoulder straps would interfere with shouldering the gun, but this has not proven to be an issue. It has GOBS of storage, smartly laid out. The side pockets are particularly nice and contain three separate compartments to each, with snap, magnetic and zippered closures. I'm quite happy with my purchase, and would certainly recommend this item to others.

My dad bought this pack a couple years ago and has enjoyed using it after years using a traditional vest. The designers at MOTHER know what they are doing! I hope THE POST will carry more of their products!

This pack is great. The ONLY downside, and this is just me being picky, is that I would like larger pouches off my flank for the shells, I was able to fit about 30, total, 12 gauge shells and 40 20 gauge shells between the two. The magnet that is an option for closing the pouch is great for when you need quick access to your shells. I took this out for the opening of Dove and was the talk of the hunt. The space for the hydration pack is great I put a 2L pack in and that lasted the whole day. I also got rained on and everything stayed very dry. I can’t wait to use this for Pheasant soon!! Also the straps are great, didn’t interfere at all with my shooting or getting over barbed-wire at all. Know if they could only make it so a chair pops out of the back it would be complete!
