Thought I'd add to this post. I'm looking to have a go at backpack hunting next year also. I've done a fair bit of hunting just never backpacking. I have all my hunting gear and vehicle based camping but need to build up supplies for hiking in camping.
Had a look at packs tonight, does anyone have the caribee pulse 80l pack. The other I've liked was black wolf mountain ash 75l. Done a lot of searching on here and have a start to look for some mats and tents ect
