You are standing upon the edge of an infinite rabbit hole. Be warned.
Most generic: bungee cord.
But you didn't say what kind of backpack (the rabbit hole), if it has pals/molle loops, a frame, zippers or pockets you want to access even with the stick or bow on it, etc. Each of those introduce their own twist, and best answers could switch from bungee cord to nite-ize gear ties to 3d-printed hook buttons, etc. In a few hours, you'll be looking at western-hunt 60,000 cubic inch compressible pockets with custom suspension on a custom NASA frame proven in battle since 1972, that cost a mortgage payment.
Prolly just stick with bungee cord, man.

It really depends on what pack you are using. Many (most) packs don't carry a stick and bow well without the two scraping and/or banging into each other. I usually strap my bow to my pack and rig my aider into a makeshift sling so I can carry my stick over my shoulder.
As an additional note, if you hunt thick cover and have never carried your bow on your pack, be prepared to have your progress through the woods impeded by your bow getting hung up on every possible stick, branch and thorn possible. I shred bowstrings/cables to the point they need to be replaced every season.
You are literally asking the meaning of life in regards to hunting pack. We are all searching for the one pack that can carry bow/gun and sticks/platform. Eberlestock has a sleeves that goes between your frame and pack. If you decide to 1 stick. Some packs has molle on the side that you can attach to.
There was a good thread about this a week ago.
I'll try to find it for the OP.

Easy way to secure your climbing stick to your pack
What's up saddle hunters? Hope everyone is doing well today. I am looking for some ideas on how to secure my climbing stick to my backpack. I have a small day pack that I use to carry my basic needs such as water bottle, coffee, any food I may want to bring. Rain gear, extra clothing for winter...
