I run an old Eberle Gunslinger, it's what I've had for a daypack for years and it works pretty good in the saddle situation too. I really like that it has a narrow profile and compresses down pretty tight. It has 2 compression straps that I'll use to strap it to the tree and often use it in place of knee pads, or if I can find a place to tuck it or hide it in the tree, I'll do that, just depends on the situation. I don't think that it increases my profile too much in the tree. I like the GS and the firearm compartment as I always have an open container to hold things like binos, etc and my platform used to fit in it so I could just reach over my shoulder and pull it out. My Predator doesn't quite fit the same, so that will have to change. I'll probably hang it from a buckle under the pack while I climb. I run 3 LW sticks, hang the first from the ground and have the other 2 hanging from the sides of my pack with gear ties. It's worked well so far.
