I have a poke boat, very light but hard to get in and out of, you can't haul much gear. I does track better than anything I have ever paddled.

I have a old town discovery 158 too. It is heavier than the poke boat but is easy to get in and out of, carries way more gear and is more comfortable. Canoes are very vesatile. A solo canoe would serve you very well. They are lighter and more controlable.

Lastly I have a finnal attack boat blind by otter/beavertail. I love it but its hard to paddle. Very comfy with the mods I have done. Its kinda like the marshrat but it is roto molded plastic and it has wheels in the back so you can roll it like a 2 wheel dolly. I wish it had oar locks like the marshrat.

I think for your needs a solo canoe would be spot on. Especially since you deer hunt. Good luck with your choice.
