Yeah, the Ute seems ideal as a day hunting pack and for overnights, but if I'm gonna get something with a serious frame it might as well be good to go for long trips like the Qui-Ya. At least that's my way of thinking. The Decker frame looks interesting as well.
The Ute and Qui-Ya have essentially the same frame. It's the volume that differs. If you are going to use it for backpacking, I would definitely go for the Qui-Ya.
