Bugle tubes - how do you carry them?

[TheCougar]

I just got off my first elk hunt where I was carrying a solid bugle tube (whiffle bat style). I never found a really good way to carry it that was secure and was easy to store and retrieve. If I used the cord, then it kind of flopped around as I was walking and annoyed me. If I stored it on the side of my backpack, then it was pretty easy to get out, but I had to put my bow down and take 30 seconds to wrangle it into the straps before I could resume hunting. How do you guys carry your tube that holds it securely, yet allows fast in/out access?

I'm sure there is a better solution but on my first elk hunt this year I ended up looping it over my head and hooking the cord around my hydration tube. I had to tie the cord a bit tighter but this kept the tube tight between my shoulder and pack and mostly off my neck.

Saw a picture on here somewhere of I guy using some sort of light plastic tube like a scabord.

The cord goes around my neck and right shoulder and the tube lies under my right arm.....left handed. It's always there when I want it, and out of the way when I don't want it.

I stuff mine down the sleeve on my gen I Nomad. Like it was made to carry a bugle tube. One hand removal without taking off pack when needed.

I cut the cord off my rocky mountain bully bull extreme cause I think they are annoying and seem to get caught on things. I put it in the outer pocket of my badlands super day pack and my brother puts it in the side of his tenzing tz2200 where the water bottle would go and behind a compression strap. Toward the end of the hunt it became comical cause he would reach behind himself and pull it out of his pack like legolas would pull out an arrow. We could put them back in without taking our packs off but didn't have to much cause it was easier to just help each other.

Hahaha! Man, that's exactly the way I take my bugle out. I'm like Conan the Barbarian pulling my sword out of my pack. I like to do it with flair too... putting it back, however-not so sexy.
