cflhunter Posted July 15, 2009 Report Share Posted July 15, 2009 What types of packs are you using? Do you carry a backpack that holds items like rattling horns? I need to purchase one for this season and there are so many to choose from! Have you found one that's very versatile yet moderately priced?

okiedog Posted July 15, 2009 Report Share Posted July 15, 2009 I'am using one from Wal-Mart, but need to be looking for a new pack. Alot of people wear fanny style packs, but I carry more stuff than that..lol Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gator Posted July 15, 2009 Report Share Posted July 15, 2009 The one I use I've had for awhile, and also got it from Walmart. I am thinking of going to a Belt style, but I can't decide Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wtnhunt Posted July 15, 2009 Report Share Posted July 15, 2009 Had a wal mart pack I was using last year for carrying the camera and everything else, upgraded this year to this one http://www.cabelas.com/cabelas/en/templates/links/link.jsp?id=0010074514998a&type=product&cmCat=SEARCH_all&returnPage=search-results1.jsp&Ntt=cabelas+backpack&Ntk=Products&sort=all&Go.y=14&_D%3AhasJS=+&N=0&_D%3Asort=+&Nty=1&hasJS=true&Go.x=6&_DARGS=%2Fcabelas%2Fen%2Fcommon%2Fsearch%2Fsearch-box.jsp.form1&_dyncharset=ISO-8859-1.

cflhunter Posted July 15, 2009 Author Report Share Posted July 15, 2009 That one looks pretty good... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dbHunterNY Posted July 15, 2009 Report Share Posted July 15, 2009 I got one from KMart in Realtree APG for $5 on sale. It's just a regular sized backpack like your son or daughter would take to school. It's made by Fieldline, if I remembered it right. Usually try to carry stuff like a rattle bag instead to fit all of it in a smaller (more like a waist belt) or my pockets. If you carry in a climber on your back, like I sometimes do, a full size pack is hard to manage. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rhino Posted July 15, 2009 Report Share Posted July 15, 2009 I needed a new pack last year so I bought this 2 in 1 pack. Not the cheapest but it works great for me as a dual purpose pack. http://www.cabelas.com/cabelas/en/templates/product/standard-item.jsp?_DARGS=/cabelas/en/common/catalog/item-link.jsp_A&_DAV=MainCatcat20712-cat20770&id=0027271516505a&navCount=1&podId=0027271&parentId=cat20770&masterpathid=&navAction=push&catalogCode=9IS&rid=&parentType=index&indexId=cat601233&hasJS=true When I need the extra space for all day hunts or just carrying extra gear such as a rainsuit or whatever, I attach the top pack. When I don't need the extra space, I just use the fanny pack part. I also bought the optional buddy lok attachments for a camera/range finder (holds both in separate zippered pockets) and my radio.

Double Drops Posted July 15, 2009 Report Share Posted July 15, 2009 I've got the Whitetail 1.0 pack. It's like this one, except without the Bone Collector stuff on it. http://www.blacks-creek.com/www/BC%201.0P.html Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LifeNRA Posted July 15, 2009 Report Share Posted July 15, 2009 I use a Cabela's Whitetail Extreme Fanny pack. Wear it in the front while walking in with my climber. It holds more than I need for the day. Which sometimes is too much! LOL! http://www.cabelas.com/cabelas/en/templates/product/standard-item.jsp?_DARGS=/cabelas/en/common/catalog/item-link.jsp_A&_DAV=MainCatcat20712-cat20770&id=0006533510106a&navCount=4&podId=0006533&parentId=cat20770&masterpathid=&navAction=push&catalogCode=9IS&rid=&parentType=index&indexId=cat20770&hasJS=true Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Straight Shooter Posted July 16, 2009 Report Share Posted July 16, 2009 I sunk a little money into mine last year, I got tired of buying those Wally World back packs every hunting season because of them ripping or breaking somewhere. Camelbak back packs are what the military uses and are very durable, so far I have been very impressed with it. http://www.camelbak.com/sports-recreation/hydration-packs/ranger-xt.aspx Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
m gardner Posted July 16, 2009 Report Share Posted July 16, 2009 I use a Kelty Targhee 900 fanny pack for day trips. It holds a small stove, 80 ounces of water, dehyrated food, snacks, knife , rope, socks and small stuff. My jacket goes on top of it when it's too warm to wear it. Rattling antlers go on the back. Had it for about ten years now and it shows little wear. I like it because a backpack interferes with my shooting when I'm sliphunting.

backwoods07 Posted July 16, 2009 Report Share Posted July 16, 2009 I leave the backpack in the truck and haul a fanny pack out with me. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RangerClay Posted July 16, 2009 Report Share Posted July 16, 2009 I got one from KMart in Realtree APG for $5 on sale. It's just a regular sized backpack like your son or daughter would take to school. . LOL! That's how I got my last pack. I went there during the back to school sales. I said hey, it's a pack, and they gave me the discount. Unfortunately that one wore out after 4-5 years. I got a Badlands pack for Christmas and I cannot wait to try it out.

Patriot Posted July 17, 2009 Report Share Posted July 17, 2009 I use this Cabela's waist pack. It seems to work good for me and it was cheap. http://www.cabelas.com/cabelas/en/templates/product/standard-item.jsp?_DARGS=/cabelas/en/common/catalog/item-link.jsp_A&_DAV=MainCatcat21424-cat20015-cat20770&id=0006707514265a&navCount=20&podId=0006707&parentId=cat20770&masterpathid=&navAction=push&catalogCode=IK&rid=&parentType=index&indexId=cat20770&hasJS=true Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Switchback29A1 Posted July 18, 2009 Report Share Posted July 18, 2009 Lol add me to the list of wal-mart fieldlines. For as cheap as they were, ive been very happy with mine. I used to take just a little waist pouch type thing, but once i got used to the switch..i couldn't be happier. Mathews made one a few years ago that are almost impossible to find anymore. It was a full size back pack that also held your bow..pretty neat deal. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tominator Posted July 18, 2009 Report Share Posted July 18, 2009 Tried a backpack last year, but couldn't get use to it. Too much bulk. Went back to the fanny. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

hungry hunter Posted July 18, 2009 Report Share Posted July 18, 2009 I use a light day pack I got from the super walmart on silver springs blvd about 8 years ago in Natgear. Don't think I will replace it any time soon. I do carry more gear then most folks into the woods, got lost years ago and spent the night.:hammer1: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

bluelund79 Posted July 18, 2009 Report Share Posted July 18, 2009 I was using one of my old rucksacks but I bought a Primos Bow vest on clearance so i am going to try and lighten the load now...I will probably use the vest and a fanny pack to carry water for the day.

johnf Posted July 19, 2009 Report Share Posted July 19, 2009 I use a Wal-mart fanny pack with those clips for extra bags or water. I used to pack in everything I could carry, I now carry as little as possible. I also wear BDU style overalls and carry a lot of stuff in the pockets. Sometimes I don't even take the pack and just use my BDU pockets. I can get my gloves, mask and a bottle of water in one side and two calls, a rattle bag, a bottle of tinks with a rag and small spray bottle of HS scent in the other side. In the top part of my overalls I can fit a knife, my cell phone, GPS, and all the little things. When I do wear the fanny pack I put it on my backside to lift up my climber off my back. It helps keep it from bouncing and making noise while I'm walking. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Randy Posted July 19, 2009 Report Share Posted July 19, 2009 I'm a treestand hunter but, I just ordered one of these. I hang up my quiver and pack anyways when I get to my stand. http://www.gameplangear.com/spotnstalk.html Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
