Hunting Back Packs

You box stand sitting, log sitting, creeping, or hanging off the side of the tree in a sling? You hunting from daylight to dark? Or are you one of those guys that rides a SxS 400 yards before daylight to his box stand, sits until 8am, heads back to camp for breakfast, back at the camp eating biscuits and drinking beer watching gameday until 4pm when you go to the closest box stand with cell service to watch the end of the ballgames on your phone while watching a field with a corn feeder.

Whichever one it is, any dang bag will hold items, they'll all leak if it rains too much, and they'll be between $20 and $500. You

then honestly whatever backpack you want

I guess, is it worh getting anything other than a academt type backpack or is their something out there that will hold up longer

if you want to spend $200, you can get a backpack that will hold up longer than your standard Academy bag

Eberlestock, Badlands, Mystery Ranch, etc all make good day packs

My Academy cheapo lasted 6 yrs but is coming apart on the side. Gonna go get another one.

Can't wait for hunting season to get here!

Never heard of them, going to look into them

Kuiu. Best ive ever had

I have 2 game Hunter from academy that are going on 10 years and are just fine. I have a larger and a smaller

I bought an Alps Outdoors Crossbuck a few years ago primarily because it is available in blaze orange. I've found it to be a good general purpose pack. Plenty of room, well made, and since it is blaze I can wear it while still hunting.

Up until recently, I used a backpack. I came to the realization that I had gradually added more and more things to my backpack, most of which was unnecessary and had rarely, if ever, been used. Now I carry a "big" backpack in my truck w/ all those extra items. When I leave for a hunt, I now carry a many pack. It's an old one I bough from Cabela's in the mid 90's. It's holding up well. I carry the bare essentials in the fanny pack.

The fewer pockets the better for me, so I just use a cheap Academy pack.

Flashlight, binos, ammo, release, toilet paper, bottle of water and three year old granola bars.

Sometimes I find stuff I forgot about and that is cool
