I have an Umlindi, Ute and Qui-Ya. I would take the Ute over the Umlindi as a hunting pack by far, especially if you plan to pack any meat. I use the Umlindi as a daypack and for travel, but have only used it hunting for pronghorn when I knew I wasn't packing out the meat on my back. It will do it, but there is limited capacity. The Ute is the most versatile pack they have IMO.
