I first heard of backpack hunting about a year ago. Being from Indiana, this is all new to me. I'm 42 and I've come to the conclusion that will never own a huge farm to hunt on. I want to learn your (collective) techniques to enable me to hunt public land in Indiana that is less pressured. Maybe later I'll get to the mountains...but small steps work best. Better to learn in an area with which I am familiar and where I am not so far into the bush.
I'm working out daily to prepare. I'm a cop and a SWAT operator so though I'm getting old...I ain't dead yet.
I'm ready to start gearing up. Looking for backpack suggestions specific to my situation. I don't think there are any retailers here that sell this kind if stuff, so I can't try packs to see what fits best.
I plan to go with a Sawtooth and a larger stove. Hunting whitetails, with a max. hike-out of 5 miles(ish).
Any pack thoughts?
