So you will mostly want to use it as a day pack but you want to be able to pack out meat. Personally I am not a fan of the smaller Kifaru packs because they offer less cubic inches but more weight due to the pockets and zippers and straps.
Tarryall 3,200 cubic inches @ 4lb 5oz
22 mag 3,000 cubic inches @ 3lbs
14r 2,400 cubic inches @ 3lbs 3oz
Compare that to the Reckoning
Reckoning 5,000 to 6,500 cubic inches @ 2lb 13 oz
Duplex Timberline 2 5,200 cubic inches @ 2lb 13 oz
Even the Timberline 2 weighs less than the smaller bags.
If you are trying to keep your bag size kinda smaller then I like one of your picks being the Woodsman which is the little brother to the Reckoning. One thing not mentioned yet is that the smaller bags also do not have spotting scope pockets with the exception of the 22 mag. The woodsman also does not have spotting scope pockets but has the ability to add spotting scope pockets.
Woodsman 3,400 to 4,000 cubic inches @ 2lbs.
With all of that being said I think the Woodsman would handle your needs. Its a sporty looking pack, only weighs 2 lbs, has the ability to go from 3,400 to 4,000 cubic inches, can add spotting scope pockets, Guide lid, Grab it and compete with the big bags with these add ons. But without the add ons you can keep it as a small to medium pack. You have the ability to carry plenty of meat comfortably or use it as a day pack. It will fit the 22", 24" and 26" frames. Good luck with your choice. Fatrascal
