Not sure if you've already made a purchase... BUT. If you're wanting to go backpacking or hiking, I'd suggest an Osprey pack. They're a little on the upper end in terms of price but they are GREAT backpacks and sometimes you can find really stellar deals. I have a large backpack for weekend trips and a daypack for anything else. Lifetime warranty and they both hold the Osprey universal water bladders. Their daypacks also have hip belts so it helps take the load off your back and shoulders. I don't know how well it'd work for hunting or anything other than hanging out in the woods, but I will probably never buy anything other than an Osprey.
