I use a Ribz for camera. water bottle, knives, GPS, compass. survival kit, saw and plastic gloves, warm gloves, extra tab and arm guard and heart bag.
I have a small daypack for jacet and extra hat.the Ribz stays on all the time and I can easily shoot with it on.  Everything I really need never leaves my body, even when in the truck on on a stand.

I'm using a Badlands Monster pack right now. Think I'll be looking for something else like bison gear or Kifaru.

I store everything I need in my Catquiver 3.5 when I use it and tie down my Torges seat or extra coat.

When I use my backquiver, I have 2 Fanny packs. A small one for my half day hunts and larger one for all day. If we plan on bowhunting quite a ways from the truck during pre rut and rut and will be rattling etc...I then strap on my bowquiver and use my Day One Pack.

I have a Badlands Super Day.  But for everyday whitetail hunting my go to bag for the last 20 years has been a Mountain Smith Fanny Pack.

I love the Badlands Ultra-Day. It carries my ambush saddle and everything I need to climb with. Has extra pockets for about anything you'd need. I love the two straps on the back for strapping down a coat/jacket, etc. The straps on the very bottom carry my knee pads very nicely. I had a Super-Day and it was a bit too large. The Ultra-Day is the ticket for me.

Rancho Safari VI ... great day pack, lots of room with enough compartments to keep things findable and organized, great shoulder straps and chest strap.

Bison Gear Lost River- Like the others said, roomy enough, comfortable and built to last.  The wool is great.

For midwest whitetail hunting I have used a turkey vest for almost 20 years.
- Everything has its own pocket/place all season (I always know where to find things with 8-10 pockets on each side).  
- Its very easy to grab things without taking off a pack.
- The large back pocket is perfect to carry a dromedary bag, a saw, stool, and clothes all tight against your back.
- It distributes weight so you do not even recognize you are carrying much -no stress on shoulders.
- I realize you are not climbing to put up a tree stand but the vest is perfect as the stand is on my back while the vest's contents are always accessible en-route or even while climbing.  
- I can haul out a decent amount of meat with it- in fact; 2 guys with vests can haul out a completely boned out deer.
-Once on stand I hang up the vest with everything organized and in reach.

Works for me. . .

Any other style of day hunting I use a large fanny.  There are many styles out there today-and many are quite affordable.

I used to just carry an old noisy cordura daypack but was always missing something and noisy...and if I shot something I had to walk all the way out to get another.

Now I have a Badlands Sacrifice...same as the old 4500 but 3 lbs lighter...and I am able to strap it up so it is like a day pack...but if needed loosen and open it to carry some meat or couple days of gear.

Bison Gear for me, with shoulder straps. Go to their web page and pick the pack that best meets your needs. I have owned several other brands, but none meet my needs like Bison Gear. You get what you pay for, that's for sure.    :thumbsup:

Badlands 2200.  I got it about 8 years ago and I've use it for short day hikes, 5-day backpacking trips, packing out deer, bear, elk, pronghorn, tree stands, ground blinds, as well as chainsaws, fuel, weed wrenches and other tools for work. Amazing warranty that I only had to use when I tried lifting the 118 pound pack of my dad's blacktail by the handle used to hang it.
