    What's your budget? I picked up a used Tenzing 2220 late last year. I considered quite a few others before coming across my deal - Alps Outdoorz Pursuit (X), Badlands Super Day, Eberlestock X2, Horn Hunter G3. In no particular order.

    I bought a badlands "treestand" pack 2 seasons ago & I love it. Good quality pack. I went through 2-3 "cheapies" before finally breaking down & buying a good one.

    I bought this one late last year. Alps Outdoors. Used it for spring turkey and it worked very well. Nice straps for attaching camera tripod to the back. Large water bladder holder inside. Good size outside mesh pockets for whatever you might need quick access to. Waist strap is removable too. So far I love it. Haven't used it in a tree stand yet but the outside pocket that flips down like a little table is sturdy. I've had about 4 hunting packs so far and this one is the best I've had.

    I have this same pack as well and it has served me well. Awesome to strap the bow on the back and free up both hands for the hikes in and out

    Another Alps user here. Bought a nice fanny pack first without shoulder straps. Held my gear but with late season clothing on I couldn't keep it on my hips. Always slipping down.

    I have the Badlands HDX and love it. I would recommend Badlands just for the fact that you are buying the pack for the life of it. Something goes wrong just send it back and they fix it.

    Eberlestock X2, carries everything for having mobile setups. It's super comfortable on you as well.

    Badlands Super Day pack for me. I've had it for almost 8 years now. Been a great pack and hasn't had a single problem yet. I like that it can handle just about any task I need it to. It's big enough to fit extra layers for cold days on stand and can fit a entire quartered up deer easily to. I've strapped tree stands to it and carried them miles with ease. Can strap my bow or gun on it easily as well. All around great pack and with the life time warranty you can't beat it.
