I use a turkey hunting vest most of the time.  Most have lots of places for water and candy.

Mine is a Field Line Fanny style pack that I've had for going on 10 years, I modified mine by sewing the shoulder straps onto the pack to make it more quiet & it seems that every time I try a new pack I always go right back to that one.
Zona Custom Recurve: 60" 49# @ 27.5".

For the early deer season I carry the DAYONE daypack. It`s quiet, light & has easy access to things, minimal noise from zippers & such. The drawback is it cant carry  heavy loads.

Later in season I switch to the Bison Gear. I have to carry more stuff, warm clothes etc. It does a much beter job, I can latch my stand to it for cary.Nice comfy pack.

My "Go To" daypack these days is an Eberlestock X2 from Whip.
Love that pack. Carries a load very well.

I currently have a Badlands 2200 but may go to the "NEW" Cameron Hanes pack. Ikeep my survival equipment and like enough room to pack meat on my way out.

Best of luck

I love the Eberlestock X2 also. It is a great size for what I need and is easy to shoot with it on. Plus it has a load flap that allows you to pack out some meat the first trip out. Well build and designed. Couldn't ask for anything more...except a mule!

Eberlestock X2 also, it can remain compact or haul a good load and out here in the west i realy like the venting in the back.

Mystery Ranch Crewcab for everything from day hunts to ten day hunts.

Best fitting pack I have ever used, though I have a super short torso that has made finding a good fitting quite an ordeal.

It packs down small but expands real big and is capable of carrying way more weight than I ever could.
Give me a bow a topo and two weeks, and I guarantee I kill two weeks!

It really depends on what, where, and how I am hunting.  The Eberlestock X2 is probably the single most versatile that I have found.  Also am going to try the Eberlestock MimiMe.  Nice compact pack with a pull out mesh pocket for a jacket or vest.  Bison gear makes some great packs as well.
