These are custom made so i can do any color.

I use this primos sling. easy on the shoulder for a long carry, you can keep the tail fan looking nice, and the bag keeps blood off the back of my pants so I can get in the truck without having to clean up first.  Big fan of it.

The Avid Turkey Tool with an orange newspaper bag rubber banded over the head to prevent blood on the back of pants and for safety :icon_thumright:

Ditto with the newspaper bag and rubber band.  Also use a braided paracord carry tote around the legs / feet, easier on the hands when you are climbing up a mountain ridge.

Guesswhos is the best way to carry em. If you are planning on mounting it then carry a panty, paper towel and rubber band. Slide the panty hose over it to keep the feathers protected and stuff the paper towel down its throat and around its head to keep the blood off the feathers. That primos sling does look like it would work.

I have a gerber tote, the one with the ruler on it. I also have a blaze orange "bag" its more like a ladies stocking, i found it on ebay fairly cheap. It rolls up and both fit nicely into my vest.

The paper towel in the throat is a great idea. Added it to our list! thanks.

I am going to bag my first Turkey this spring if it is the last thing I do!

Why would you carry a turkey in?

I prefer to carry one out whenever possible.

If you are going to mount the bird then you are going to want to take care of the feathers and head.  Wrap the head in paper towels and put the bird in a pair of panty hose going head first.  This will keep the feathers nice and slicked back.  Just carry it out like you normally would after that but I wouldn't use a strap around its neck.  I'm sure you could be a nice dad and place it in the back of your vest and hike back to the truck.

I have been known to grab both legs with my right hand and sling over my shoulder.  I stop when I get to the truck.

Is this a serious question?
