I came up with this idea for carrying your wild turkey from the woods to the truck without slinging it over your shoulder and getting blood everywhere. I looked on the market and saw some sling-like gadgets, but nothing like this. The Tom Toter is essentially a three-sided tote bag with a hole in the bottom of the front end for the bird's head/neck to go through. The back end and top are open.
When your bird is down, just open the Toter and slide the turkey's head/neck through the hole as far as he'll go. The bird goes in with his back down and feet up. The wings, feet and fan are all gathered without messing them up. Use the Velcro fastener to secure the bird and off you go back to the truck while blood can drip from the head/neck.
Here are some photos of the prototype. I have to right click and open in a new tab. Maybe some of you can see the images in the thread. The fabric is green duck, washable and very durable. I believe there could be color options, maybe even camo or blaze orange, but I'll look into that. In production, the handle straps will be shortened a little and some fabric will be removed from where the handles join the Toter. These adjustments will bring the bird's head off the ground a little more than shown in the photos.
My mother is an awesome seamstress and has a small side business making all sorts of handbags and totes. Her work is impressive to say the least. The prototype looks like it is factory made, only a little better. The price is $40 American, shipped to your door. PM me and we'll take care of the details. If you think this is a good idea, please spread the word. Thanks for looking
