I have been using a fanny pack for the last few years and have run out of room for the stuff that I like to carry. I am looking at switching to a back pack. Are there any back packs that section off the main compartment or are they all just one large compartment. I am not looking for a large back pack. Just one that could be used on a day hunt.
Thanks!
Check out Bison Gear listed as a sponsor of this site. I use a fanny that folds out to a back pack. Cool Stuff!

You might want to take a look at the Badlands "Super Day Pack." It's real popular around here.

I bought a cabelas scout pack this year and I love it. Different compartments and a water bladder...Mike
Badlands "Super Day pack" great pack very well made!
Who carries the badlands packs?
Take a look at the Camelbak and Redhead packs. Saw one of each at the Indiana hunt.
Each had a bladder and several pockets. As well as outside tie on points. Fit between your shoulder blades width... I was impressed by them.
Another vote for Bison Gear. There is not much that it can't handle. I carry all of my gear including my pro video cam, 12 pound Hunter cam pro camera pod, and a bunch of hunting gear with room to spare. They are also tough as nails, and comfy to carry.
What about those catquiver thingies: anybody use one of those?
A Bison gear Lost River will carry anything a day pack will and more. If Bison gear is not your thing then crooked horn makes a pretty good daypack. I have both and the Lost River gets used 4 to 1 on the other.
I have been looking at the cat quiver/ rancho safari day packs. Their website has some non- quiver models as well as the ones with the detatchable quivers.

Cabela's carrys the Badlands packs.
Check out Nimrod packs they are awesome I have had mine for a couple of seasons now and I think they are the best. They have a system that you can add or take away from to suit your needs of that day. Same idea as badlands but in my opinion much more versatile
Allan
same idea as bison sorry

Day One!
I was told one time, " the more stuff you put in your pack, the more it looks like you're going on a bus trip"
I guess what he meant was we get out to our spot and sad and wait, instead of Hunt, now I know there's times for hunting, and there's times for waiting.
But I do get tired of all the " stuff " I take along. And I keep telling myself how many times have I use that, and I still take it along. I just went to my pack and I have three different scents that I'm using, that's nuts when you gotta rut going on, and I found three different sets of latex gloves, two long ones and two short ones. My pack isn't that big, but the other day I looked over my hunting closet and my office for those small little hooks you screw into the tree to hang your bow, could find them anywhere I even went to my pack two times, I get into the tree stand, at 5:15 a.m. I was digging in my pack for something, and there they were in the bottom of the pack stuck in the styrofoam that I placed them in.
Not I am not telling you all this, just to get you to stay with your fanny pack, my pack is a Guide Series, from Gander Mountain, it is a medium-size pack. Not too big not too small. And it's got enough compartments for everything I need. But I also just purchased a fanny pack from Gander Mountain for $19.99, just in case I get the urge to downsize again. I did the Cabela's thing, and paid $40 for nice one, took it back and a month later bought this one, and it's just as nice.
There was a Tradgang member that said " all you need is a bow and a knife " that's what started the first time I downsize. The fanny pack I purchased from Gander Mountain is called
"8-pocket fanny pack " it was $19.99. By the way, our treestand are going on sale I think about 25% off after Monday the 27th of November. So you guys like to buy extra tree stands or replace the old ones take note.
