The ideal smoothbore hunting bag??

I want one outside for the fish and game.

I'd add a license holder and an extra dog whistle somewhere in there. Just so I know I have right there in there. When u go.

And last item. Small folding pocket knife some where... I'd put one in there too have.

Mines tactical. . so phone lighter cigarettes. In there too..

My keys I loop to my belt with a lace and in my pocket.

I think that's everything? Maybe

Lots of good ideas here. Keep em coming!

I use a tarred canvas bag, shot snake, and one of my horns.

I like the speed loaders on this one.

I like the pockets and storage of the tactical messenger fishing bag I have though. for the price and all.

For a smoothbore that bag is way to modern, just seems out of place to me.

If your in modern hunting cloths.

I'm not seeing people out there looking like a time period either. No one.

Not as any insult. Of any sort.

If I was trying to insult this 1500 t0 2024 time span.

You can dress how you like and add the required if any orange. Required..

it's not a redevinouse though out there.

I'm going hunting not drama PC club where toilet paper is out of place. Just saying.

What time period you go by. Do we have to match the gun hat coat shoes.

My best match.. if any is too look British out there.

Im not that great at sewing up something like that either.

The rothco bag is nice to I think.

Anymore, I mostly carry the Lemuel Lyman style belt pouch I made, with ball, patches, and wads in, and a little pouch of shot in my pocket.

I'm not qualified to figure this out but I'm going to build a smoothbore hunting bag for a friend. I want it to be a working design. Of course, it should be aesthetically pleasing but more importantly it needs to be highly functional.

What are the important features of a smoothy hunting bag??

I bought a few canvas grocery bags of no design, cut off the short straps, and sewed on a leather belt, all from goodwill. Each bag and belt combo cost under $5.
I carry my powder flask, shot flask, wads, caps, large rag for cleaning, a few balls, oil, turnscrew, nipple wrench, GI canteen, and whatever I may need.
Things rarely rattle in the canvas bag, plenty of room for birds or bunnies.
I have 2, supplies for 3 more.
Not what the pictures depict, but certainly convenient and affordable.

For a joke..

We can dress all orvis or ll bean.. it's like a lifestyle you know.

We have a few of them around these parts. That I've seen.

The Eddie Bauer Edition. Every kid had that bag when I was in school. Mom's in the ford's edition.

Does anyone even know who Eddie Bauer is. I don't think anyone with the stuff hunted or fished. Maybe they played tennis.

Oh found it. Down cloths. He got hypothermia fishing.

The down clothing n gear?.. hunting. Fishing. No. No thank you. That's no good

I should have guessed.. the vest everyone had on too.

I guess I'll add it here. I did run into someone who looked British.
When I was training the dog at a preserver. He actually He did stop me when I was packing up.. had to see the Gun. It's not often that happens.You need to have a nice gun for somebody to stop you and say hey can I see.

Funny how your search something and then everything shows up a day later.

This is mine! I have shot and powder in premature watertight tubes with wadding and overshot cards together in small ziplock. There’s a pocket inside that holds essential tools, capper and supply of caps. When chasing Snipes they are always around the wet areas and a lot of them once flushed go out over the water so this bag works great for me allowing my gear to be kept waterproof!!! Everything stays dry except for this guy.

Premeasured not premature, got to love smart phones making decisions for you! And I guess not knowing how to use them in the first place!
