    What do you guys use?

    I really like the Badlands Tree Stand pack, but it is only available in Mossy Oak and I'm a Realtree guy.

    I'd like something that can accommodate my quiver and have room for grunt tubes, etc.

    'Full Rut' Rattling Backpack - Packs, Duffles - GamePlan Gear

    I won an Easton Outfitter Gamegetter pack before the season started, but it's just not that great of a pack. Not much room at all and don't like how it's set up. Been eyeing up the one in the link for awhile but it doesn't hold your quiver. Couple on the site that do so look through them, might find something you like.

    I'm still on the search for the perfect hunting pack. :sad:

    My Sitka acsent 14 treats me well, plenty of room for a day trip or a day in the stand. I can lash a set of sticks or my bow..alone with my outer wear on the walk in. Plenty of pockets and it's held up really well..I beat the snot out of gear.

    I looked at the Treestand back in my recent search for a new pack. I also would have preceded it in Realtree. I ended up going with the Badlands Stealth since it was lighter than the Treestand which was a big plus for me and it had more room than old pack. It also is in Realtree Xtra. So far I am very happy with my choice.

    Thanks for the suggestions. I'd looked at the Stealth earlier, so that is definitely an option. The Scentblocker Spider Monkey also caught my eye.

    I like that badlands pack as well. I too am a realtree guy, I wouldn't let that stop me from getting that pack.

    I hunt public ground so I need to be mobile, always hunting with a stand on my back. This year was my first year hunting without a pack. I utilize the cargo pockets on my pants, jacket pockets, and on my bino cover/case I have a small zipper pocket I can keep a compass and some orange clip on reflectors that I use when I kill a deer at night and will be going back to drag it out. Cutting the fat and forcing myself to hunt without a pack has been very comfortable and easy. Maybe not for everyone but it works for me.

    I currently have a "field line" (bought @ Scheels) that has worked ok but I have replaced all the zippers already & am ready for an upgrade. The badlands looks like the way to go.

    It seems the reviews on the Spider Monkey pack aren't that great.

    I looked at the Field Line, but nothing caught my eye.

    Badlands seems to be the direction to go.
