How do you carry your turkey in from long distances?

There's a long waiting list but I'd hook a brother up.

I have a vest I bought years ago that has numerous pockets all over the front and a big open netting in the back. It's impossible to load load a bird in yourself but it's nice on long hauls. As far as taxidermy usually as long as you lay the bird in in the natural direction of the feathers and carefully bring the fan in to the down position it will be fine. Good luck!

I carry mine out of the woods on a ATV.

I throw em over my shoulder and get to walking.  Blood on my pants is something I look forward to...

I started taking my nephew turkey hunting to solve this vary problem. He is young and gung ho.

That's what I do when I don't have a "youth" along. Then he tugs it along, I carry his gun.

Ronnie,
I can hook a brother up with one of these totes if he needs one. They are hunter grade and meant to be used.

I use a tote too and carry them over my shoulder. It's only rough if I have to carry two and it's a long walk. I'll stop to rest on those trips. Don't know about the rest of these fellas here but I almost always whistle on the carry out. Can be the most satisfying part of the hunt some days, especially on a tom that's taken more than normal effort to get.

In back of my vest I often have long walks out

[FullChoke]

I made one using a shed deer antler for the handle and paracord to loop onto the legs.

I didn't read this one yet, if your having the bird mounted, wrap him up good in a trash bag in the back of the truck. Especially his tail fan. That 70 mph ride home will do a number on his feathers and tail fan. Better yet put him in the cab if you have room.

over the shoulder most of the time...I did use my game pouch on my vest one day when having to walk up a steep holler.

[Huntnwork]

I put the gobblers legs over my shoulder and put the spurs between my index finger and middle finger, start walking and then wonder what I have in the truck to put on my seat because the back of legs are covered in blood
