There's a reason you hear about  Bison Gear so much!
 
I have a couple of Bison Gear packs & love everything about them.  I've tried a lot of packs & nothing else compares!

I had a couple plastic clips break on one & had replacements in like 2 days (no charge).  I love being able to call & talk to Ang...I know he's going to be there to stand behind his packs.

I don't want to be 'Johnny Raincloud' but what is the point of a haversack?  It offers no support and weighs down one side of your body...sounds like a sore back/shoulder if I've imagined one.

Hess: it just depends on how much you are carrying. For early season gear especially heading to a stand it's great. I like the easy access to my stuff and simple on and off. I am referring to the Bison Gear haversack. Capacity is significantly less in my Asbell haversack. For most of my local hunts the haversack/shoulder bag works great for me and I've accumulated a collection.

 

We're not talking about overnight stuff here but just a day hunt. In colder weather (more clothes, food) I do go to a backpack (Kifaru Scout).

I'm a Badlands fan, either the Superday of Diablo are good packs, my nod goes to the Diablo, but they are both 1900 c.i. packs.

Lost Arra,

O.K., I'll admit it might be an easy pick for the close treestand hunting.  And you cannot beat the quality of a BG pack, I've got a soft spot for those packs and always will have.  I've owned more BG packs than anybody...other than Ang.

Good shooting fellas.

Another vote for Bison Gear.  

I've got a Lost River pack which is one of my favorites.  This wool pack can get warm though when the temps are a bit higher.
