REVIEW: Steve’s Deluxe Steward’s Game Bird Bag

Steve’s Deluxe Steward’s Game Bird Bag was built for real bird-dog training. It fixes the common problems with many steward bags: slow access, poor airflow, short straps, and not enough places to carry gear. It’s handmade in the USA, keeps birds secure, and makes training smoother.

Why trainers choose this bird bag

• Spring-loaded opening for quick access without birds escaping
• Breathable mesh build to keep birds cooler and help protect feathers
• More storage with pockets on both sides plus front pockets
• D-rings to clip and secure gear (blank pistol, launcher remote, handheld GPS)
• Adjustable strap so you can set the height you want
• Italian bronze belt snap to anchor the bag to your belt loop and reduce swinging
• User-replaceable spring parts to extend the life of the bag
• No zippers or Velcro to snag, clog, or wear out
• Handmade in the USA

Fast access without losing birds

The spring-loaded mouth opens wide for easy loading and one-hand bird pulls. You can block the opening while removing a bird so the others stay put, then close it fast.

Keeps birds comfortable

Mesh panels provide airflow so birds can breathe and stay cooler during training sessions, especially in warmer conditions.

Carry your whole training setup

This bag isn’t just for birds. It’s built to carry the gear you use every day.

• Two side pockets to separate shells, gloves, or tools
• Front pockets for quick-grab items
• D-rings for clipping transmitters, remotes, or handhelds

Stable while you work dogs

When you kneel or handle a dog, shoulder bags swing forward. The belt-loop snap lets you anchor the bag so it stays put and doesn’t smack your dog.

Built to last (and repairable)

The spring assembly is user-replaceable with simple pins, so you can keep the bag in service longer. No zippers or Velcro means fewer failure points.

Real-world capacity

• Plenty of room for quail or pigeons
• Customers report up to 4 chukars
