Turkey Totes - Which Do You Prefer, Paracord or Leather?

[Andy S.]

I own both and have for several years and always find myself taking the paracord to the woods with me. It's lighter, folds up to a smaller footprint and really is just my preference for toting one out. If the paracord option was not available, I would have no problem using the leather tote.

                      I use a Hangman leather tote from CaneCutter turkey calls and like it. Just toss it in my gamebag in my vest and works like a charm.

The ones I have had made were all paracord like yours but I had them widen the area that would be on your shoulder. By adding an inch or two to the width makes long totes out of the woods more comfortable. Just a thought.

If you would be willing to modify a couple with the wider area I would be interested in buying some. The friends son who used to make them has gotten out of it.

PM me if intetested.

Thx Brian

I like the looks of the paracord ones, but I haven't taken the time to learn how to braid so I just made my own out of a piece of leather about the size of a boot shoe tongue, glued some carpet foam padding to it, and added a nylon cord to either end to attach the turkey's head and feet. It may be a little bigger than those shown, but it comfortably carried a bird on two occasions  some 20 minutes back to the truck without stopping and, since I already had the materials, cost me nothing to make.

Hey Bud,

  Yes, I've seen your's and I like it - simple, effective and a great price!  Good stuff!

While I do not have a tote I would probably go with the para cord because it takes up less room. I have always thought one would be handy for one of those up and down hill,2 mile walks back to the truck

I use a Primos turkey tote. The one I have is all blaze orange and has hauled countless birds miles out of the mountains. The wide strap makes it fairly comfortable.

I don't use either although years ago I used 1/8" cord. I used a H.S. Strut orange carry bag for a few years but when I got my Mossy Oak Super Elite III vest that ended. I put mine in the large pouch in the rear of the vest and flip out the orange marker.
