Best Hunting Backpacks

[MCO8891]

Looking to get my dad a new pack back for deer hunting. I don't want to get him one that's huge. Any price range. Any ideas?

Eberlestock X2 has been fantastic. Great quality pack, been through over 200 hunts in the thick woods and looks brand new. I had an Alpz brand pack before that and all the zippers broke within the first season. I think they have an updated version of the x2 now, not sure on price. But I believe it'll be a life long pack.

I've got a Badlands pack. The quality of the pack is second to none. The more you wear it the more comfortable it becomes. The holster in the waist belt isn't worth a darn, IMHO. And my sandwiches get smoothed but I found a work around for that. Just use a plastic dish that sandwich meat comes in (no need for the lid) to keep the sandwiches protected. Other than those 2 issues it's been a great pack. They are expensive but have a lifetime warranty and made in the USA.

I know this isn't a popular hunting brand name - but this backpack has been great for me. I've carried it for several years - not a problem with it. Lots of space, ample pockets - I strap my clothes on the outside. It's been a great backpack:

I'm currently using this Tidewe pack my daughter gifted me, it's pretty good for the price, holds everything I want to take in, even my Dewalt driver and spare battery to do a little TLC to my stand last week. Has a rifle carrier and rain cover tucked in at the bottom and a place for a camelback but no bladder comes with it.

I haven't gotten it yet so I can't give a personal review, but I also need a new one so I've researched them quite a bit lately.

I settled on the Alps Outdoorz Pursuit. It's actually on sale here if he doesn't mind brown instead of camo.

I will second the Badlands packs. I have a small one and a big one and both serve a purpose. They have many models to choose from.

I like the Sitka 2700 Mountain hauler if you can get it on sale, which I did. Does he carry at tree stand, if so the 2700 would not work well. I use an older "floppy " style pack when hooking it on my stand. I hunt off the ground 95% of the time.

I have this one pretty sure from your recommendation and works great for me. I've had a Badlands Day pack and liked it but wanted a little more room.

I bought 1 from bass pro 5.11 and have been really happy with it, plenty of pockets and a padded storage for electronic pads and such. not had any water get into it but I avoid rain as much as I can lol they have several sizes to pick from, I will never buy a brown back pack or pants/shirt or coveralls to deer hunt with, not getting shot due to movement and the right color for a deer ymmv

If you have a sportsman warehouse around to check out their selection of Killik brand packs. I have one I use for deer hunting and it's great and just the right size. Bonus is the ability to strap a rifle to it

Cool!

Eberlystock F1 mainframe and Vapor 2500 works well for me

Been using the Badlands Monster Fanny pack for 10 years. In it I have gps , flashlight, full size binos, sandwich and snacks, bottle of water and a coffee thermos, skinning knife, compass, phone, car keys, limb saw , trail markers, and pull-up rope. Also has straps for coat below it and many attachment points for ear muffs,

I hunted with an Eberlestock X2 for years and it's always worked good. I've recently switched over to the Kuiu Pro Pack system so I could interchange bags and get rid of some of my packs. It's worked great and gives me a more comfortable option for hauling meat and heavy loads. Now I just need to actually sell some of my old packs.

Any pack recommendations for carrying saddle and sticks?? My 35L 3 day assault pack isn't the greatest…

I don't like carrying extra weight, so I leave the kitchen sink at home. That said..I use a small Mystery Ranch pack. It carries everything I need and seems to be well made.
