Over the last five years, Beau Martonik has tested and hunted with a variety of packs in the Appalachian Mountains and big woods while chasing whitetails. In this video, Beau breaks down five of the most popular packs he’s used for mobile hunting — covering the pros, cons, and real-world performance of each one.

He’ll review:
Mystery Ranch Popup 40 – versatile frame pack with adjustable height
Sitka Apex Pack – lightweight, quiet option for early-season or scouting –
Sitka Cargo Box – purpose-built for whitetail hunting –
Mystery Ranch Beartooth 80 – a western-style pack repurposed for whitetails
Exo Mountain Gear K4 2200 – streamlined and comfortable with great load-hauling ability

Whether you’re saddle hunting, tree stand hunting, or scouting, these packs all have strengths and weaknesses depending on your style of hunting. He’ll share what works best for all-day sits, long hikes, hauling meat, and keeping quiet in the woods.
