I use both, about 50-50... but never at the same time.

For cross country hunting my back pack just going to the stand/blind the fanny pack works just fine for me.

I had one of these for years liked the size. big enough to hold things i may want along but small enough to not be in the way. unfortunately I have not seen it in years since the move to the farm. I looked them up last week decided I need another one. https://www.armyandoutdoors.com/pro...kuRE0eGwRDEimkkBjwHb4lSlOSoaArmwEALw_wcB

I have marine small assault packs but they are just a little big at times.

I've never used either, and never thought about it, I guess. Just carry stuff in my pockets.

…. I heard yessir carries his grunt tube in penitentiary style

Doesn't everybody?

You still ask to borrow it don't ya?? LOL

Back pack for deer hunting since the 1980s. Used a fanny pack for lure bottles sometimes depending on how im trapping.

Mac

Lol I had to reread it a couple of times to get the jive of it.I started to wonder how think this stuff up and quickly realized I dont want to know
I hope lefty gets back soon, I can only bear the brunt of it by myself so long.

lol …. I heard ol Lefty carries in a big pair of rattlin horns in like that

Used to use a butt pack instead of pockets, but moved up to a frame back pack when I started boning out in the field... can load the meat from 2 medium deer in meat bags into the backpack and walk em out instead of dragging...

Game vest and layers

backpacks almost never fit me , and it is hanging off my back , I might wear one if I could ever find one that fit right.
they all seem to be maid for some little guy.
and the stuff is inaccessible
it hangs behind you catches on brush when pushing through a thick spot.

fanny pack was ok but put the weight in not idea place

game vest I pack stuff in smaller zipper bags like first aid kit
spare gloves down in the bottom , pockets
I can balance it out so it sits even , it makes a little wider all over but not hanging out really anywhere.

the only thing that might make it better is a place for a hydration bladder in the back of the vest

This is why I liked the small one I linked. It was cheep when I picked it up at a surplus store and I had it several years and didnt use it untill my daughter got big enough to deer hunt. Now taking a kid and keeping her comfortable and entertained required packing a lot more stuff. I had that pack saw it and started using it. Since it was my first pack I uses I didnt realize how nice its size was. I have had several typed of packs but have 3 ( one for me and the boys) of those in my cart to buy. Wife said something about spending money in her venmo account so going to let her take care of that part.

They dont hold a lot and are thin. Easier to get to items in it for me than deeper zipper back pack. Small enough not in the way in a deerstand and won't tempt you to pack more weihmght in things you don't really need becuse you have the room.
At least thats how I remember it. guess I will find out when they show up in a few weeks. Lowest cost shipping said 8 days and its only got to come from Iowa.

He twerks to make em work.
