What Size Backpack Is Best for Hunting?
The best hunting backpack size depends on how long you plan to be out hunting and the type of animal you are after. Simply, you'll need a larger hunting backpack if you're going to be out for multiple days, as well as if you're hunting particularly large animals, such as elk. If you're only going out for a day, consider using a daypack that is around 3,000 cubic inches. This gives you plenty of space for water, light food, ammo, and other tools. For more than a day, you're going to want a hunting backpack that is at least 4,000 cubic inches. A larger backpack also helps you pack away meat from a large animal after quartering it.
How Heavy Should My Hunting Pack Be?
The goal of a hunting backpack is to keep everything you need close at hand while you're out in the woods. However, the more you pack, the harder it is to hike over large distances for long periods, so you'll want to pack only the necessities, especially if you plan to butcher the animal in the woods and bring it back in pieces. For an empty pack, stick to those that weigh around 5 pounds when they are empty. These are tough and durable while still being lightweight. Once your hunting backpack is full, try to keep it under 30 pounds, especially if you're going to be out for multiple days.
Can I Use a Hiking Backpack for Hunting?
While you can use a hiking backpack on your hunts, it is preferable to use a backpack specifically designed for hunting. One of the main reasons for this is camouflage. Many hiking backpacks are colorful, as this can help people spot you if you're in trouble. On the other hand, most hunting packs are available in a wide range of camouflage patterns so that you can pick one that matches your hunting grounds. Additionally, hiking packs are often much larger, as they're designed to carry tents, lots of food and cooking utensils, and other emergency supplies. This can make them cumbersome when trekking through brush and thick trees if you're not on a main path.
