Cloth Game Bags?

[peashooterJoe]

This is a subject not talked about much, any ideas, sizes, most likely of Linen. Anybody seen originals or documentation of any . Would like to make one to put squirrels in for this Fall. Thanks PeashooterJoe

Looks like a deep haversack, with a single button, and a leather strap.

Russia sheeting would be good.

Can't remember. By William Sydney Mount. The museum that has the original, you can zoom the pic, but where??????

It can't be a haversack...they are not military, I think a haversackish shoulder bag of ones choice of size and material would do fine, I carry mine on a thong with several loops but it does get some blood on my clothes,a material with a course weave might be good for air circulation.

Oh for God's sake. It could be a haversack. Perhaps the guy was in the military and kept his haversack? Perhaps because he was in the military, at one time, he refers to his shoulder bag as his "haversack". Ever hear an old navy guy refer to the wall in his house as a "bulkhead"? Or his floor the "deck".

Are you also telling us that a bayonet is no longer a bayonet if a civilian owns it after the war? Get over it TG.

Well, Carl, we know when and where the painting was done. What model of U.S. haversack is it?

I bet the Egyptians had game bags too. :rotf:

Wars come and go, hunting goes on every day, everywhere.

It's just a "bag".

You need to get some new material. This wasn't even funny the first time. :shake:

Carl, unlike you, I could be wrong, but I am pretty sure TG was being facetious with Pichou. You might consider lightening up a bit. Perhaps get a little clarification before you stick your foot in your mouth.

Perhaps, but it's getting hard to tell the sarcasm from TG's serious "not traditional enough" posts.

And this is why I`ve kind of drifted off to another site..

I think we're going to get a little more conscientious about deleting sarcastic, non-helpful posts. I'm a little tired of it myself.

I've made a bag of canvis, pre-washed and dried hot to shrink it, before sewing, with a 9"x9" bottom and 18" tall.
I put two 2" wide straps on it 18" long to facilitate shoulder straps or I can tie the two straps together as a shoulder bag.
I have found this size to be a perfect for gathering walk-abouts, shrooms,grapes,fiddlehead, cattail,tinder fungus's, and hunting small game. If it's animals I'm after I carry paper bags from the grocerie store to put game in first so I don't get alot of blood leakage spoiling the canvis.
pc? well study a bit about voyager,HBC,NWTC an canoe and boat packing an such. Just a little common sence will tell ya not much went to waist. If a big canvis bag tore, I'll bet it wasn't thrown away. If it was, someone surly would have picked it up and made something else of it. :wink:

Great looking bag - and the design is "timeless". :thumbsup:

This bag could have been used by anyone, anytime period, after the invention of the buckle, of course. Remove the metal and it could have been used anytime after the invention of cloth.
