i wouldnt call myself an experienced hunter but the bigger the pack the more crap you will take, also theres nothing wrong with second hand gear, if it hasnt failed on someone else then its likely to last, also look at the construction of a pack like the way the straps are stiched in, with your gear and meat is it going to bust a strap... because if it does then your up the creek, i got an eberlestock just one pack they are solid ( and heavy about 3kg empty ) but i know it wont fail $700 and it opens out to put your meat in, in saying that i also have a ridgeline day bag $100 and its great too, if your going overnight then consider spending some coin on a good sleeping bag, compact and light but warm it will make a big difference to your pack size.... and leave your spare undies at home you can always go comando, extra socks are where its at for me cant beat warm dry feet!!
