Game Bag #3

This
game bag is made from cowhide, pigskin and hair-on calf skin.  The netted front is made from hemp.  The shoulder strap is woven wool and has a forged buckle.  Other details include four game keeper straps with forged rings and an antique bone button for closing the top of the netted front.

 

Also...made sure to test the game hangers....they work.

Game Bag in use

Update to this post: http://ewingscreekpouches.blogspot.com/2013/11/game-bag.html.  My friend sent me photos of the game bag I made, in the field where it belongs. Its great to see your work put to good and proper use.  Note that the guy shoots squirrels with a flintlock pistol!

Game Bag #2

This is a simple game bag for my personal use.  The size is 8.5" tall by 10.5" wide.  The back panel, flap, and all edge bindings are made of a lightweight pigskin. The inside front panel is a hemp fabric, and the netted front game holder is hemp.  The flap is decorated with a pair of rosettes and a folk art moon.  The wide strap was woven from woolen yarn and has no provision for adjustment.
