I have a tote from Otis leather . But it's a just a leg tote. Really no difference in carrying by the legs . To be fair though... I'm I'm cleaning a bird on the road , I use the tote as a gamble to clean them with because I can choke it on the tree and have 2 leg holders . If I'm carrying a bird far enough or need 2 hands to climb out ... I just put him in the back of the vest...... not worried about blood ... don't know why anyone would be . But i prefer the sore elbow if I'm toting one .... I deserve it , and I owe it to him to suffer a little on the walk out.
