Game bag

[bigmcg]

I have a Brady Woodland game bag which used to be my dads and is in danger of falling apart as it is now close to 40 years old. 

I like the Brady bags and don’t mind paying the money for another if it’s going to last the same time, but I also saw these

Hi there i picked up one of these at a car boot a few months back ,very well made and i thought it was a Brady until i found the label.Cant see why it wouldnt last .

[matone]

Owned a few of their products over the years and they`ve all been very well made & servicable .Quality stuff !

Must admit the only type of game bag I'd consider now is the Montrose bag company PvC type, look horrible. Game and country at Selkirk sell a similar 1 too.

Almost all the keepers and pickers up all use them

But last for years and cope with a lot of heavy work and a decent size too.

 

It might depend wot u want it for thou, or how u use it. Do u stuff it full of birds or just the odd 1 and ur lunch

All the stuff that Phil makes is quality gear.

The harkila one is sweet, if a little expensive.

hello, i had one made by MEL Bs wife Lin the size of a posty bag with a middle divider and front net and a good shoulder pad,  the montrose and the one you mentioned look good and large

I bought the pw member gamebag from here a few years ago. Very good value, well made & holds a lot of game. Still in perfect condition & it is out plenty of times in the field.

Have seen the Montrose ones on shoots but they are ugly I mainly beat if not shooting and I don’t pick up enough to put up with a bag that ugly, lol. Mine is more for carrying lunch, spare squibs and a couple of birds in the front mesh.

Have you not thought about a repair by Brady?

I have just called them and they do provide this service. Take a photo and send it to sales@bradybags.co.uk, and they will let you know if and what they can do.

That was my first thought, I emailed Brady a few weeks ago and asked if they could refurb a game bag  this was the response;

“Unfortunately we don't. 

Bags of such an age have obviously deteriorated over time and working on them can be 'like opening a can of worms'.

Sorry to disappoint you.”

i guess they would repair a newer bag tho.

Another vote for Phil Ogden, as mentioned above. Not cheap but superb quality. I had a large side bag for wildfowling made to order by Phil and I`m truly impressed with it.

Are the Montrose ones made by Montrose rope and sail ?

The pigeon watch game bags are good, been using mine for a few years now and it still looks good. 

[scotslad]

Aye figgy they are.

 

Can u take ur bag into a local cobbler?? See if they can fix it?

I've done that with a few game bags previously.

Must admit I tend to carry a few game carriers in my bag for carrying the game, takes the weight of ur bag, nice a cheap too and even better if u have had a big drive u can hand ur full carrier to others to carry

I've a Balmoral Game bag sold by Monarch Country Products. Made by Phil Ogden it's fabulous quality.

However this season I've been using a Seeland Retriever Vest. Far more comfortable and practical than a game bag. Cheaper options than the Seeland around  if you ebay "Gun Dog handlers vest."

I like those Montrose bags, I fish the hill as well as shoot and where I am there's always a chance of getting a good soaking whilst out. I don't mind paying for good stuff but practicality comes first.
