I have been looking for a daypack as well. Serious question: If you are going to have shoulder straps on your fannypack how is that a better alternative to a small pack? It seems that you would be able to distribute your pack weight better in an actual pack.
You can move your shoulders much easier, with a bigger range of movement. Much better drawing a bow with a shoulder strapped fannie pack than an actual backpack.
I've got both the badlands super day pack and monster fannie pack. I'll go either or during rifle or muzzy, depending on where I'm headed and what I'm planning on taking with me. During archery season it's always the fannie pack.

Monster Fanny Pack
Superday Pack 3 lbs 15 oz
Stealth Pack 1 lb 8 oz
My preference is using packs over a fanny pack. I like using a hydration bladder and both the packs allow for it. I started with the Superday and used it for a couple of years and decided to shed some weight. Ended up trying the Stealth pack. Minimalist approach to organization due to the reduced number of storage pockets but I guess that is part of strategy in weight savings. Total pack volume is essentially the same. Weight savings was more important for coyote hunting packing in my toys :)

1200 cu.in.
3 lbs 7 ozs.
It has a snow shovel "Shelf" that is adjustable, that's how I secured the elk quarter on it.

I use the badlands 2200 and i love it, everyone always saying its to big and heavy but i dasagree, its a very comphy pack. What i like about it and why i recommend it over others espically a fanny pack is because if i knock an elk down there is no wasted trip out to grab my frame. I can strap a quarter right to it and be on my way. What more could you want :tup:
:yeah:... For the money I think you would have a hard time finding a better daypack. I really, really like being able to access the main compartment through the back. Allowing me to have meat/bow/stands etc... and not have to remove to access lunch. :chuckle: I also prefer to make "every move count" so being able to pack meat is huge to me. If not an important feature to you... disregard this post. :tup:

if you are successful, you can tie a hind quarter to the straps for that first trip back to your truck to get your meat carrying pack. I've done it and it works great.

I am hot blooded and this thing is built to breath. It looks like a huge pack when you have it on, but it is due to venting/ spacing away from your back. I use to run a huge fanny pack and a hydration pack, but was always fighting the adjustments and harnesses between the two. I too leave early in the morning, or at least try to, and will usually not make it back to the truck until dark , which makes for a long day during early archery. I carry enough gear to no have to worry about food, water, or emergencies. Just running a fanny pack, I could not carry enough water for the day.
Caution : I have worn this pack on a couple of late season hunts which has caused issue with me getting cold from not wearing enough layers. In the past with previous packs and the high contact they have, they really insulate your back which kept me really warm, too warm (sweating). Not this one.
