What is a Good backpack to use for hunting. I need something i can hook up my Lone Wolf Assassin platform and hawk sticks. I also bring a hawk camera arm and camera equipment. Im looking for something lite weight and affordable.
Thank you.
 
There are a lot of good options out there. I've been through a lot of packs because I guess I'm picky in that area. I just ordered an XOP striker pack. Should be here Thursday. I ordered it because it seems to have a lot of storage and attachment points on the outside and plenty of storage in the main compartment with lots of mesh pockets. It looks like a solid pack for 80 bucks
 
Anything that’s light but has plenty of webbing for lashing and can hold 2.5L of water or more for early season; a similarly webbed or pocketed fanny pack for cold late-season days when water is sipped, not gulped, and I only need about 40oz or less.
 
Packs fall under camping gear in my opinion.
There are 3 features for most camping/hiking gear and you can only have 2 out of 3...

If it's light and durable it won't be cheap

Badlands super day pack is awesome. Super durable and the webbing system on back and bottom is perfect to attach sticks and platform. It’s a little over 100 on sale at midway and it comes with a lifetime warranty
 
I really like my badlands 2200 has ton of room for how compact you can make it if needed
Plus straps to carry a stand or bow

The Badlands 2200 is definitely on my radar as a possibility in my other thread...

Backpack options for Ridge Runner

Does anyone on here use the ALPS OutdoorZ Pathfinder pack and the Ridge Runner to know how it packs inside the fanny pack area? I am looking for a smallish backpack that I can convert to a meat hauler for quartered whitetails. I would like it to be able to hold my bow also. In my research I...
saddlehunter.com

It's a little bigger and heavier (almost 6 lbs) than I wanted but it will definitely do everything I expect a pack to do and would probably be the last I would ever buy. I was just hoping for a smaller/lighter option to be a little more minimalist.

The Superday pack does not have a shelf for hauling meat... All of the Badlands packs require the additional bow boot to haul my bow but that isn't really too bad for $20 extra and a click to order it.
 
Hill People Gear “CONNOR”
This pack is the perfect balance of everything you need and minimalism. It has hypalon (rubbery material) wings on each side that allow you to pack sticks, a bow, or platform/stand. I used it to haul around my LW assault last year and it was perfect. This year I’ll be hauling my saddle, platform, and bolts with it. The yoke system is great too—very comfortable. Oh...and it’s made in the USA. Here is the link: https://hillpeoplegear.com/Products/CategoryID/3/ProductID/59

Horn Hunter packs
Their smaller day packs would probably work.
