It is a tradition that I started back in the 1970's and I plan on doing it that way until I can't anymore. There is just something about the great feeling of balancing a gobblers breast on my shoulder with its wings falling down on both sides and the head bumping against my back that is just satisfying to me. I won't do it any other way no matter how much easier it might be. As for a carrying method for a to-be-mounted bird, the key is just to not break, crush, or otherwise damage the feathers on the bird. Most of the real damage comes at the point the bird is shot,, is flopping around, and/or the hunter runs up and grabs it by the neck. Do not do that, or carry the bird by the neck. Just take care with the bird and understand that every feather that is broken, crushed, or pulled out during transportation to the taxidermist just makes it that much harder for the guy doing the work on the mount.
