Best Hunting Pack for Every Season
From saddle hunts in the whitetail woods to week-long Western backcountry adventures, the right hunting pack is essential for staying prepared and comfortable in the field. Whether you're looking for a streamlined day pack, a rugged frame pack, or a purpose-built blind bag, choosing the right style depends on the type of hunt you're planning. Our Hunting Experts have selected the best hunting packs for every scenario—so you can gear up with confidence, no matter where the season takes you.
When every ounce and inch of space counts, having a dialed-in setup is a game changer. From packing in your sticks and platform to organizing ropes and other essentials, efficiency matters. The Latitude Outdoors pack makes it easier to stay mobile and quiet, helping you slip in and out of the woods without missing a beat.
Designed with the whitetail hunter in mind, the Treehouse 38 pack offers smart storage and easy access whether you're in the blind or up a tree. It straps securely to the tree, keeping your gear organized and within reach. With various size options, it’s easy to match the pack to your hunt—whether you're heading out for a quick evening sit or packing in extra layers, food, and essentials for an all-day pursuit. Ideal for both archery and rifle setups, the Treehouse 38 pack delivers quiet, functional performance season after season.
A go-to option for many Western hunters, the Metcalf 75 pack strikes the right balance between weight and capability. It's light enough for long hikes from camp, yet built to handle heavy pack-outs—like hauling elk quarters. With plenty of crossover potential for archery, muzzleloader, and rifle seasons, the Metcalf 75 pack is especially well-suited for early-season archery hunts when mobility matters most.
The Eberlestock Team Elk Pack is built for serious rifle hunts, with a built-in Rifle Scabbard for hands-free carry, a durable internal frame for heavy loads, and multiple compartments to keep your gear organized. Its adjustable harness system and padded hip belt offer all-day comfort, even when you're covering rugged terrain.
When you need a pack that can carry enough for your run-and-gun day hunt but aren’t worried about packing out large amounts of meat, the Kifaru Shape Charge is a popular choice. This pack is very versatile, letting you carry the ideal day hunt setup without losing any of the key features found in larger packs.
Sometimes you need a pack that can carry your entire camp. For long, extended hunts where you plan to spend serious time on the mountain, the Stone Glacier Sky 5900 delivers. It offers all the features you need and is versatile enough to handle the demands of your hunt. Plus, its impressive load shelf makes packing out everything—sometimes hundreds of pounds of meat—easy and reliable.
With the right hunting pack tailored to your style and hunt length, you’ll stay organized and prepared no matter where the season takes you. To explore our full range of hunting packs, shop online or visit your local SCHEELS to speak with one of our Hunting Experts.
