I hunted with a pair of Burris Signature Select 10x42 binoculars this past November and will be buying a pair before next September. I really like them.

As for a backpack, I have a 10 year old or so Kelty internal frame pack that I hit with a rattle can, but would suggest getting one that is already camoed up or at least not bright blue. The advantage to it is that it carries a light-medium load well so packing lots of gear around all day or packing out a whitetail is no problem. But it is usually too much pack, and when I need to pack out anything with weight it is horrid.
I hunted with a Nimrod Pinnacle day pack this fall and used their folding frame to help a buddy pack out a big muley buck and plan on getting myself one along with a frame to make hunting lightweight easier but having a frame back at the truck or at camp.

I don't know much about camo so I am not much of a help there and not gonna even recommend something, and as far as bows I don't know anything about newer bows, I have a Parker that they don't make anymore, so...yeah.
