I do a couple of backpacking hunts every year, and I recommend that you try it. You won't know whether you like it or not until you have done it. Packing meat out can be a challenge, but really it is not that big of a deal. Make sure to practice firing your weapon with your backpack on as it can feel quite different. Carry your first aid and survival kit, and parachute cord. Other than that try to keep it as light as safely possible and have fun.
