Title: Turkey Totes- got one? use one?
Post by: JeffD on March 22, 2011, 07:35:52 AM
Wondering who all has and utilizes a turkey tote. There are many styles out there. Let's see what totes you have and let us know where did you get them? JD

I have one I made myself from a rawhide string and a fork horn shed I found, works great.

I've used a sling type for about forty years now.  Made several myself, but most recently had a 12 year old boy make me one.

Like guesswho, my boy makes my turkey totes, just in a different style.

I've been using a bright fluorescent bag with straps on it like a backpack that I bought from Primos or HS Strut many years ago. Works great and very safe carrying a bird out and no blood on the camo clothes either.  :icon_thumright:

I have the same one as guesswho. Looking forward to using it.

Which reminds me, I got a very nice "Thank you" note from him last week. Was very cool to get. That boy is on the right path!  :icon_thumright:

Sad to say I bought one my first year hunting from gerber and it's not near as nice as the paracords y'all are toting and much shorter than yalls any suggestions where I could land one.

I also have one from Birds boy and am hoping to get to use it this year. This is my first tote and will be the only tote I will use. It fits great on the shoulder and is very easy to hold. It is also a very well done braid, that is flat to help distribute the weight without digging in to your shoulder. Jay makes a great tote and lanyard which I am going to try to talk him into next for me as I have seen the one that he made himself for duck hunting. These things are as priceless as a gun and call when turkey hunting, that is for sure. Hopefully we will see some more of Jays work here in the future.  :you_rock:
