I recently started using a tatonka 30l hunting pack and find it very good. It's a little short but not bad.
It's had two outings so far and I've been impressed with how much you can stuff in it. First trip was 3 hind legs (bones in - back legs the bones stuck out the top a little), backsteaks, eye filles and heart plus the usual day trip bits and pieces. The second outing it fit five fallow legs (my mate took the other three, four backsteaks etc etc.
I think it would struggle with a stag but it's great for everything else. Heading for four more days on Thursday so will report back if anything interesting comes of that.
Worth noting my mate had an exo mtn pack on the fallow hunt and that was very impressive. Load shelf worked super well and it cinched down to a standard day pack size very easily. At some point I will happily sell my other packs in favor of one exo mtn.
