Hunting back pack ?
« on: January 14, 2017, 05:45:00 PM »
I'm in the market for a new hunting back pack .
I'm thinking of getting one with a frame but it doesn't need to be very big .
Also hope to not break the bank .
Hoping to get a desent one for less than $150.00
Any suggestions ?
Thanks for your input . Graps

Depends on if it is a Day pack or something a bit more subsrantial.

This is what I recently purchased as a Day pack and a bit more room for later season hunting.

That will do it. Plus it has a frame and water bladder.

Look at the products from Alps Outdoorz.  Their line of packs are great and well within your budget.  I have a day pack and their freighter pack and they worked great the past two trips to Colorado

Graps, I just picked up my second mil-spec, Army surplus backpack. It'll easily hold all you listed and cost me just $20 at a local gun shop. Bomb proof and in digital camo. Compartment for hydration Bladder, external compartment for paperwork, two interior sections. I love it

I have used a Bison Gear Pack for a number of years now and it is great.  The model that I have is the First Trip Explorer.  I mainly hunt whitetails and its great for carrying extra clothing for weather changes.

I love my badlands diablo. The warranty is unbeatable.  I'm going to upgrade to a little larger pack like a 2600 but my diablo has  packed numerous animals out. I've had to send the pack in twice to have the zipper replaced but I've not been nice to that pack and it has been great

I have one of the Cabelas Elite Scout packs like Rick Richard mentioned and it is a really nice pack..

However, I did just buy a Kelty Peregrine and it is probably the best pack I've ever shouldered.  I highly suggest you check it out. Got mine for about $90 off amazon.

I had a Dwight Schuh Hunting Pack that was very versatile. It has a plastic external frame with padded shoulder straps and hip belt. A 1000 ci fanny pack attaches to the lower part of the frame and a 2500ci backpack to the top part, both are removable and may be used separately. I have used it as a daypack elk hunting with just the fanny pack attached, and backpacking with both packs installed. Packed out a few elk quarters with this setup before upgrading to a internal frame backpack (more expensive).

I like the rucksack style that cabelas sells.  One big compartment with drawstring and two little ones in the flap/top.  Zippers and shoulder straps are nice.  It has two mesh water bottle pouches as well.

Kelty makes some good packs. I have a Lakota 65 that I have packed several deer with. I have never had more than about 80# in it but it handled that weight well.

Another vote for Badlands. Little pricey, but the warranty is great and the customer service is awesome.

I have and just love the Deuter Act lite 50+. It's super light, carries a bunch of stuff, is a quality backpack and can easily carry up to 50 lbs and is really comfortable. Check them out. It is affordable as well. Got mine for about what you were hoping to spend...

Check out LL Bean. Everything is 100% guaranteed. You can use any pack and if you don't like it return it with no questions asked.

KSDan's Shuh pack might be great for that application.
