I have a Kuiu 7200 for multi day trips. It works alright, it can carry a lot of meat, gear or both. But it only starts to carry well when it's 3/4 full. For a day hunt, it's too much.
I guess what I'm saying is don't go too big. If I was going to get a day pack now I would probably get something in the 3000-4000 cubic inch range. Maybe the SG SOLO. That's enough space for all the warm stuff you might need for a cold day in November.
Packs are getting crazy expensive. If you want to do it a bit cheaper, second hand is the way to go. Any hiking backpack can do the job. The most comfortable pack I used, was loaded to the gills on a sheep hunt, Lowe Alpine. I sold it because I thought I needed a meat shelf, it's nice, but I was wrong.
