New leather turkey call bag

[Darren Haverstick]

I just finished this bag for Roy Mackey of Lone Star Game Calls. It was an interesting project because of the pockets, box call sheath and striker sleeves he wanted on it. I had never made a bag like this before so I really had to think about how I was going to put it all together. Surprisingly enough, my plan worked out and I was pleased with the end result.

One thing I really like about this bag is I got to use rare earth magnets as clasps for the flaps. I hardly ever get to use magnets because they don't play well with the electronics most folks like to carry around.

The body of the bag is buffalo and red deer. The trim is a mixture of ostrich hide, ostrich leg skin, caiman and deer. The adjustable straps are red deer and I carved the buttons out of deer antler. Everything was sewn by hand using artificial sinew.
