Backpack?????

Someone sell me on a backpack.

1. Need room to put a Ameristep camera arm in and my jacket at the same time
2. Would like it to be water resistant.
3. Want to to have a place to strap a bow or gun .
4. Places to put calls ect...
5. Please no $400 Badland's I'm on a tight budget.

 

Make sure to throw a little baking soda in it

 

anything field and stream, redhead, or cabelas brand.

 

$30 at the surplus store.

 

I suck at posting images.

 

Badlands makes the 2200....not $400, but more around the $200...but sure you may find some for half that if you look for a gently used one

 

AZchokster where can I look at what you posted

 

I've never owned a Horn Hunter, so I can't speak to it's quality. I did see this pack as I was perusing them the other day though, price is right: $60.



Horn Hunter Pack

 

I was thinking about getting this one for myself:



Eberlestock Tailhook, $189.99 at Cabela's

 

I have an Eberlestock X2, great pack but beware they are not waterproof. They are water resistant and will allow water in if you sit out long enough. I had several rounds with Mr.Eberlestock but their definition of "Water Proof" is not changing.

 

Thx guys keep'em coming

 

I don't think the Badlands is ether

 

Sorry but the best pack I've ever owned is a Badlands. Before a Badlands pack I'd never had one last me through a whole season. I'll be going into my 3rd season with my Badlands pack and it is as good as new.

 

There I helped you out a little.

 

I'll be stopping at fleet and farm, cabelas, and gander tonight to see what they got. Hope I come home with something.

 

I like the look of this one:



Sitka Accent 14 Day Pack

 

Good to know, I definitely sit through my fair share of rain.

 

I have the Blacks Creek "Canadian" pack, which has more than enough room for everything you've mentioned. Bow/rifle holder, pouch for a water bladder, "spotting scope" pocket ... which you could use to store your camera arm, and a "rain flap" to cover the entire pack to keep the rain out. It also has a smaller pack that zips off in case you need to "get light" without having to take the full pack with you. It's $260-ish, but well worth the money in my opinion.

 

Thanks GABowhunter. I was missing one of these ]

 

I use the Horn Hunter Mainbeam --- LOVE IT. Got it for $80, used.
