1. Introduction and Overview
The FOXPRO Scout Pack is a versatile carrying solution designed for predator hunters. It is specifically engineered to accommodate the FOXPRO XWAVE Predator Electronic Game Call and its remote, along with other essential hunting accessories. This manual provides detailed instructions for the proper setup, operation, and maintenance of your Scout Pack.
Key features include:
- Designed to fit the XWAVE, but will accommodate other smaller FOXPRO units.
- Fold-down side pockets expose mesh openings that allow you to play your call while it's still in the bag.
- Molle webbing to add future FOXPRO accessories as well as your own accessories.
- 5 storage pockets (1 on each side, 2 in the front, and 1 internal mesh pocket).
- Removable carry strap (when converting into backpack mode).
2. Setup and Configuration
2.1. Initial Setup
Upon receiving your Scout Pack, ensure all components are present: the main pack and the waist strap extension belt.
2.2. Deploying the Rain Cover
The Scout Pack includes an integrated rain cover for protection against adverse weather conditions. To deploy:
- Locate the zippered pocket on the bottom of the pack.
- Unzip the pocket and pull out the rain cover.
- Drape the rain cover over the entire pack, ensuring full coverage.
- Tighten the cinch strap at the bottom of the rain cover for a secure fit.
To stow the rain cover, release the cinch strap, fold the cover neatly, and place it back into its zippered compartment.
2.3. Converting to Backpack Mode
The Scout Pack can be converted from a traditional carry bag to a backpack for hands-free transport:
- Detach the shoulder carry strap if it is currently attached.
- Locate the waist belt straps stored in the back panel of the bag. Release them.
- Unzip the top pouch on the back of the bag to reveal the backpack shoulder straps.
- Connect the support straps from the shoulder straps to the D-loops on the waist belt.
- Adjust the shoulder straps, waist belt, and chest strap for a comfortable and secure fit.
3. Operation and Usage
3.1. Using Side Pockets for Game Call Operation
The Scout Pack features unique fold-down side pockets with mesh openings. This design allows you to operate your electronic game call without removing it from the bag, minimizing movement and maintaining concealment.
- Place your FOXPRO XWAVE or other compatible game call inside the main compartment.
- Unzip and fold down the side pockets to expose the mesh openings.
- Ensure the game call's speaker is aligned with the mesh opening for optimal sound projection.
3.2. Utilizing Molle Webbing
The exterior of the Scout Pack is equipped with Molle webbing. This allows for the attachment of additional pouches, accessories, or gear, expanding the pack's carrying capacity and customization options.
3.3. Remote Holder
A dedicated remote holder is integrated into the pack's design, capable of securing any FOXPRO remote control for easy access during operation.
3.4. Accessory Attachment Points
The shoulder straps feature D-loops for attaching binoculars or other small items. Additionally, clips are provided for securing a gun sling, allowing for comfortable hands-free carrying of your firearm while walking.
4. Maintenance
To ensure the longevity and performance of your FOXPRO Scout Pack, follow these general maintenance guidelines:
- Cleaning: Wipe down the exterior with a damp cloth and mild soap as needed. Avoid harsh chemicals or abrasive cleaners.
- Drying: Allow the pack to air dry completely before storing, especially after exposure to moisture, to prevent mildew.
- Storage: Store the pack in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight when not in use.
- Zippers and Buckles: Periodically check zippers and buckles for smooth operation and any signs of wear. Lubricate zippers with a silicone-based spray if they become stiff.
5. Troubleshooting
If you encounter any issues with your FOXPRO Scout Pack, consider the following:
- Difficulty with Zippers: Ensure zippers are clean and free of debris. Apply a small amount of zipper lubricant if necessary.
- Straps Slipping: Re-adjust all straps (shoulder, waist, chest) to ensure they are securely fastened and tightened for your body type.
- Water Penetration: Ensure the rain cover is properly deployed and cinched. Check for any tears or damage to the pack's material.
For persistent issues, please refer to the support section for contact information.
