Title: Who makes a good turkey tote
Post by: Alabama556 on March 30, 2024, 03:35:12 PM
I am looking for a good turkey tote that goes over your shoulder. I finally blew out all the cheap primos ones I had.

Thanks

Captain Hooks on here makes some nice paracord totes and I make some leather totes. I only have one made right now. (https://uploads.tapatalk-cdn.com/20240330/669c7bdc6f10891ab3c1b20cc0f36d87.jpg)

That's a fine looking piece of work sir. How much does one of those go for?

Houndstooth.$40. Strong but supple leather. YouTube vid demonstrates. Call it the Mayfield strap I believe. If you've been using a paracord strap then this will blow your socks off.

Thank you. I'm still a beginner leather worker but I thought that Olive colored veg tan turned out really nice. I sold them for $75 last year. Thats the last one I have. I'd sell it for $65. It's veg tan leather, solid brass d rings and hand stitched.

I bought 1 off captain hooks off here several years ago. Look under the classified section. Believe he still has a post on there. I'm pleased with mine

That is a really nice leather tote and at a great price. If I didn't make my own out of paracord, I would be placing an order. Nice work!

Glenda Green made my turkey tote and yes she will make you a turkey tote out of the same material that she makes her gun slings. She will also make you a custom made one of your liking. She custom made me one just like i wanted to roll up and carry in my satchel... She will put metal rings on each end or just nylon loops, i got nylon loops on mine..

That would be a nice lightweight option. Mrs. Glenda does a great job.

I bought one that I like from a young lady named Taylor (Totes by Taylor) a few years ago.  I liked it so much that I bought a few more for some friends of mine.  Here is a post where I learned about her https://oldgobbler.com/Forum/index.php?topic=95002.0

I have an inexpensive PRIMOS version that works great. I think I paid around $7 for it

I use slip on gun slings. If I kill a bird, I just loop in on turkey then carry my gun.

I make my own out of paracord. I could make one for pretty cheap depending on how you want it.

These are a few I made of all paracord but have also made them with welded rings on the ends and double weaved the portion that goes on your shoulder.

Cox made the 2 toter I use, but I doubt he makes them for sale now.

For currently available, check out the Rolling Thunder tote, the TomTote from Fowler Hide Supply or DuckTote's Limb Hanger.

Once you use an over the shoulder tote of quality leather, you will never go back to paracord or wrist totes.

Everyone has their own preference as to what they like but for the last few years I have used the neoprene strap that came with a pair of binoculars as my turkey tote.  I never use the factory strap anyways as my binos go on a harness.  The neoprene strap has loops on each end to slip over the head and feet and it is stretchy over your shoulder so it carries a bird nicely.  It is also really small so it packs nicely too.  Just throwing it out there in case anyone reading this has an old bino strap laying in the box that they didn't think of repurposing.
