Does anyone have experience with these vests and if so, which bag is biggest and is either one really big enough to put a turkey in if needed?

The M2 bird bag is amply sized for a turkey and the vest itself carries the weight well. No experience with the Marsupial, but it was definitely on my short list before I ended up with the M2.

So is the m2 built heavy enough to handle carrying turkeys a long ways without the stitching giving way where the straps are attached?

Can't speak for long term as this is my first season with it but I don't foresee any potential problems such as coming apart at the straps. I'm a vest snob and have been very satisfied with the M2 so far...

I am also a vest snob and have been running the m2 for 3 years now(bought on the day they dropped). It's been fantastic for me so far. I typically only run the hydration bladder pack unless I know I'm going to be way back in the woods with a long carry out.

My Brother and I have been running the M2 for since they came out.  It wears like you don't even have a vest on.  The bird bag works great, plenty of room and carries bird comfortably.  The stitching and material seems heavy duty, basically looks as good as the day we got them.
I am sure the Marsupial is top notch also.  Bad news, it seems Tethrd may not be making any more M2 vest.

That figures. I saw they were out of L/XL so I was waiting on them to come back in stock. Thanks for the info

I have been going back and forth with Tethrd customer service on a couple things and they havent outright said it, but....I think the M2 is done and not coming back in stock. Same with THP customer service.

They finally called me back and it's definitely been taken out of production along with all the accessories that go with it. They said there there has been talk of an upgraded model taking its place but not set in stone yet.
