Some hunters want a duck tote that is compact, all leather and ready to hang wherever they are standing. The Chambless single leather duck carrier is an all English bridle leather duck tote with solid brass hardware and six drops, and each drop will carry one to five ducks. It can be attached to your waders or hung inside the blind.
What the single leather duck carrier is
This is the leather counterpart to the single paracord duck carrier. Both have six drops, but instead of 550 cord, this version is made entirely from English bridle leather, the firm, smooth leather traditionally used for horse tack. The hardware is solid brass, offered in a Solid Brass or Antique Brass finish. It is handmade and American made, and Chambless describes it as durable and stylish.

Using a leather duck tote in the blind and on your waders
The single leather tote is built around how birds are actually handled during a hunt:
- In the blind: Hang the tote on a nail or hook inside the blind and add birds as the dog brings them back. They stay off the wet floor and out from underfoot.
- On your waders: Attach it to your waders when you are wading out to pick up birds or hunting a creek or flooded timber, so your hands stay free for your gun and call.
- On the walk out: With six drops at one to five ducks each, it holds a good morning's worth of birds.
- At the cleaning table: Hang the tote on a post or tailgate and work through the birds one drop at a time.
How it compares with other Chambless duck totes
If you like an all-leather build but want a shoulder strap, the CBLESS II single leather duck carrier adds a stitched English bridle leather strap to six leather drops. For larger groups, the 12-drop Gadwall II carries two to five birds per drop. The single leather duck carrier is the compact choice: simple, all leather and easy to keep with you. Compare them all in the Chambless game totes collection.
Caring for a bridle leather duck carrier
- Rinse and wipe. After a hunt, wipe off blood and mud with a damp cloth.
- Air dry. Let the leather dry at room temperature. Avoid heaters and direct sun, which can make leather stiff or brittle.
- Condition regularly. A light coat of leather conditioner a few times a season keeps the leather supple and helps it shed water.
- Expect patina. English bridle leather darkens with use, and solid brass develops a natural patina, which many hunters like.
- Store with airflow. Hang the tote in the off-season instead of sealing it in a bag.
