I use a BL 2200 as my deer / elk hunting pack.
My cuz sewed me up some quarter bags slightly larger than a pillow case which work great for deer quarters. I quarter my deer ... 4 bags. I peel the rib meat, heat, liver, and backstraps off into a 5th bag. Leave the spine, pelvis, and rib cage behind. Those 5 bags fit into a single elk quarter bag, lash it with sash cord into a "meat roll", and lash that to the BL pack using the meat shelf. Works.
It's bigger than I'd normally use for a day pack if I'm not expecting to carry meat. When I'm just out bumming around I use a Badlands Pursuit. Lack of a waist band means it doesn't interfere with my holstered revolver which I carry strong-side.
