In southern VA next to NC line, where I grew up, we called that a crocus sack. Since most in that area were originally from western NC the term may have originated there.

Just looked up the trem and here is what they give as a definition:

Guana (guano) sack. Always sack up here and not bag.

RonT:
OK, more to the story...,  I copied a game bag given out to participants in "The Great Ohio Rabbit Hunt 1999", sponsored by Dean Torges (RIP,old friend).  I've retired this bag and needed a replacement, maybe a tad more fitting to the period.   The original wouldn't have  held a limit of rabbits, be hard pressed for Squirrel, here in Ohio.
Call it what you want, game bag works for me.   
Cheers,
R

 Not a "Sheepshead" in Va.; we used to catch those out around the Bay bridge tunnel and they have stripes on them, very good eating. Like the ones in the link.
