I cobbled this together from material I salvaged from an old mesh bag. Might have been a laundry bag originally, but I'm not sure. I've hunted for a lace tablecloth that has a large section of plain netting or a fishing net etc, but never could so I went with this for now - if a better net ever turns up I'll make another - but I have something in the meantime to use and enjoy. I added two leather tabs with grommets to the pouch that matched the net's tabs, so I simply laced the two together and can still remove the net bag if I do not need it or decide to move it to a different pouch. If I decide I like this net I'll cut the grommets off and sew the bag onto this and build a more accurate net for a nicer leather game bag I have.

Military surplus stores often have packages of old school natural material fishing net for use in making ghillie suits.

Another option is to make the net. It really isn't that difficult, just time consuming and a little monotonous.
I've made nets from paracord, but I think I'd lose whats left of my mind if I tried to weave a tiny mesh net like I'd want for a game bag :)

That's pretty cool.
