I've got a couple of bags I use as possibles bags, but they can fit so much stuff that: a) I put so much in them that finding what I want to pull out is noisy and cumbersome, and b) they get heavy and awkward when doing a lot of still hunting. Both of my current bags are roughly 12"x10"x3".
I'd like to go smaller. What are you using? What do you like about your bag? Love pics!

If you don't have to have something "traditional". Google Red Rock Rover Bag. Not smaller but way more comfortable to carry and will be really small with only a few items in it. Zippers super tough.

Thanks Fred, will do. Also came across a company called "Track of the Wolf" that had some really neat stuff.

Lots of molle straps to strap your harness, thermocell etc. I also mount a quiver on it

Military surplus messenger bad.

Neat website Andrew.

Last night I bought a small camo pack with two zippered compartments and a long over the shoulder strap. Got it at Wally World for $8. It will be perfect for my local whitetail hunts as well as SC hog hunting.
Some guys are carrying WAY too much stuff into their local woodlot.

The good part about hunting with trad gear is it just doesn't take much.
I've never found that i need a pack or a possibles bag. I do stuff my pockets of my BDUs.
I take a knife on my belt, a wind powder bottle in my pocket, my t-cell clipped to a pocket, maybe an extra sweatshirt, binocs on my neck, gloves in pocket, compass around my neck, snacks in the BDUs water bottle in a pocket. Some stuff fits in the quiver pocket like BH sharpener for touchups.
I guess it depends on how long you are staying out. Maybe an all day Elk hunt would require a pack with light raingear and more water/food, first aid, light survival stuff.

Check out the Frost river site their shell bag is what I carry. It comes in four different sizes and is quality construction. It is perfect for a day hunt, couple bottles of water, snacks, drag rope, small sharpener, gloves, bow stringer, very small first aid kit, extra string and a flashlight. They have one that is 7"×9"×2.5".

Compact Modular Hydration Backpack by fox tactical .Friend of mine just got one from the army navy store and they have them on amazon .I usually use a superday but thinking of getting one of these smaller bags myself.

Hill people gear kit bag. I didn't get it at first, until I tried one. Now I love having all my gear on my chest, right where I can see it and get what I need. Carry binos, folding knife, gps, emergency kit.
