The only pack currently made that I'd own is the Arcteryx Bora 80 or 95, and there's a lot I don't like about those.
My favorite packs are the older Osprey Vector line (from the 1990's) and Dana's from the same era. Their Loadmaster externals are as good as it gets for a hunting pack.
Sorry to be the bearer of bad tidings, but the pack market today, unlike all other things in the BP world, has gone backwards, not forwards.
