Aimed squarely at bow or gun hunters, the Quickdraw 2.0 in Realtree EDGE, from ALPS OutdoorZ, is a single-sling daypack offering quick access to all compartments, thanks to its swing-around design. Multiple shoulder strap configurations and zippered accesses located on both sides of the main compartment are designed to accommodate left- and right-handed users. Unlike traditional shoulder straps, the single-sling allows free-range of motion. The pack features a drop-down pocket to securely carry a bow or gun, and mollie webbing with a bungee system to carry a quiver or extra gear. A waist belt with pockets, that can also accommodate a holster, is included for extra stability. For hydration, a 2-liter water bladder comes with the pack.

One of the world’s most productive copper mines is also one of Arizona’s most reliable sources of Rocky Mountain bighorn sheep. The bighorns are not shy about entering the Freeport McMoRan open-pit mining operation—near Morenci, Ariz.—but predators are. As a result, there’s no natural check on sheep population growth.
