For a pack that will carry weight for long backpacking trips and or meat hauling, going to spend a little more.

I have been happy with my EXO. Have couple different bags (1800,3200,4600) that I can flip for longer trips. The 3200 collapses and compresses well of only using one bag.

Bags that are a little fuller (1800) sometimes make a better rifle rest.

Lots of good brands. Good luck
