Backpack for stand hunting

[Nick87]

Anyone have a small pack they like for stand hunting. One I've got now is pretty much an oversized fanny pack. Looking for something with shoulder straps but not overly big. More to carry my extra layers to the stand. I try to dress light for the walk in then add a jacket or bibs if I get cold later.

Something with some straps so that maybe I can carry my bow on it.

Not sure what you’re looking to spend as there are a ton of “whitetail packs” that will carry some clothes and a few items fine. I use a stone glacier avail if I’m going to a stand that’s already hung or just gonna be on the ground. It’s has some internal organization but not pockets for everything you own. I have an Exo that I use when I’m carrying in a stand and sticks.

Maybe under $125.

I mean it’s basically just a Badlands, so…

Maybe under $125.

Check out dakine ski packs, right price with straps for carrying sticks or your bow.

Stay hydrated with this 3-liter reservoir pack and insulated hose. Another great feature is the expandable kangaroo pocket which allows you to stuff jackets or extra gear so you can easily access it.

Thinking something like this. I've had good luck with alps on other product's.

I really like the Kuiu stalker pack. It's very small, but is big enough for everything needed in a kill kit and some extras. For extra layers, I just simply attach them to the pack with the straps it comes with. In 40 years of deer hunting, this little pack has easily become my favorite pack for stand hunting. Will never use a fanny pack again.

I just have a cheap wal-mart camo backpack, cost me maybe $15. Works better than fine for what I need. Fits my coat, water and snacks. I have an extra release in there.

Sg sky archer compresses down really well without the lid and the longer straps work great for carrying the stand and other things.

This is more than you want to spend but probably exactly what you are looking for. Plus it’s Duluth Pack so it will last for the rest of your life, and your kids life. I would definitely put it on your letter to Santa. https://www.duluthpack.com/products/all-day-lumbar-pack?variant_id=169008

I rock just a cheap tactical pack off Amazon. Basically a school book bag but with extra tie down points.

Works great for stand hunting, a little tough to do sticks stand and a bow, but I feel that way with any pack...

I got a used pack on here for that price that is way over kill for tree stands but also wworks for back country stuff.

This is what I use as well. Carried my saddle, sticks, Nalgene and bibs this past season. Was walking about a 1/2 mile in. Something with a frame would be better, but I'm a tight @$$

Any pack work for stand hunting Tammy was given one at work from a vender black n grey I use it all the time use the front clip to have it tight to the tree so it doesnt swing in the wind and makes getting into it easy
I dont think you even need camo if a deer can see my pack hanging on the side of a tree I call it venison

I use the Alps Pursuit. Adequate room for everything I carry for whitetails. If walking in and need to carry heavy jacket, just strap it to outside. As low as $82 on Amazon right now.
