I have a very old cabelas treebark back pack. I wear that ober a Ribz front pack.  The Ribz hold camera, binos, water day snacks gPS.  Extra tab and arm guard.  Day pack can hang, but the Ribz stay with me as it has everything I need and I can shoot with it on
Day pack has bladder, hard chow, extra shinning knives and gambrel, spotting scope, gloves, Ekit

For me it depends on the hunt. If I'm in a spot where I'll have to bone up the deer and haul out meat and a head I use a different pack then when just walking out behind the house.

I'm not a fan of dragging out deer and won't do it if I'm a long ways off a road.

Not usually a pack. Consider a possibles bag or haversack for day hunts.

X2    on the bleuwidow.   This is the first pack that I have found that actually fits my frame. I have a 31" waist and was able to order the smaller waist belt so I can really get it snug.  Ive tried several packs in the past, with the BW It rides perfect on my hips and not on my butt.  Works great for a 3 to 4 days worth of gear and turns into a nice daypack.

Still hunting a haversack.....sitting, an Army Alice pack hooked up to my Waldrop pac seat.

X2 It's handier and more useful than I ever imagined until I tried it.

If its cold and I'm walking in, I bring an army duffle.  It carries all the bulky gear and folds nice and small when I don't use it.  My BL reaction daypack fits inside on the way in and the duffle rolls up nicely and secures via bottom straps on daypack.  Hydration reservoir is much quieter and requires less movement than a crinkly water bottle.

Those haversacks like Roger sells are very handy.  I already have one from a long time ago that holds all kind of goodies.

I use Sitka Gear packs until it gets really cold and then I use a KOM Lumbar pack. The wool packs are quieter.
