I'm looking for a quality chest pack to run and gun. Any recomendations?
Marsupial gear or FHF would be my two choices

I modified an Alaskan Guide Denali by having a local seamstress put striker loops inside and it works for me. I can add a box call pocket as needed.
x2 for the AGC Denali chest pack. I've had mine for 6-7 years now with zero issues.
Got an e mail this morning from a Knight and Hale site. They're having a Father's Day sale on a few items.
Outdoor Vision Turkey Pro is what I use. It's a great rig.

That's also a good option
I run an Alaskan Guide binos harness, Denali. I also have two of they're range finder pockets up front on each side.
In the back I have they're water bladder in a pack. It holds snack and a strap to carry turkeys.

Most of the chest packs I see stick out so much I have too wonder if its even possible to switch to shoot left handed. Do any of you guys that wear them think it would hinder a person to switch to their off side?
Just a heads up; This thread got me shopping and I revisited the Alaskan Guide website this morning. They are have a 15% off sale for Fathers Day.
I pulled the trigger on a Ravus pack. I think it will be a good compliment to my Sitka turkey tool belt not a dedicated hunting pack.
Marsupial or FHF. Some of these chest packs are massive.

Same thing I said. These two companies, and Alaskan Guide, specialize is chest packs. I have tried cheaper chest packs and bino harnesses and they never are as comfortable as the specialized brands.

Marsupial gear products are my choice.

It depends on how you fit the pack to yourself. I personally wear mine lower than it's probably intended for that reason.

I wear them on the low side and would have no problems.

I have a pair of their leg gators and really like them.
When I go too killing mode I unbuckle top left corner strap and bottom left corner strap on my rig.
That gives me full movement and also ability to switch to my off hand "Right hand".
In rough terrain I do not like looking over my pack to see my feet and where I am stepping! My personal biggest pet peav.

I presume you don't have a gut
LOL. Oh yeah, I have a big gut. Actually makes the chest pack stick out even further. Hence the walking on rough terrain challenges.
In case your wondering, AGC offers extension straps in case your round.
T&K good quality I have there leg gaiters also Give them a call and talk to Tyler or Keith they own the company Really nice people

Mines not a gut. It's a shelf my chest pack rests on. :funnyturkey:
I like the striker loop idea Sam.
I was on a fishing trip for the last week and a half and when I got home my AGC Ravus pack was waiting on me.
Nice construction, fits me well. I don't think the little accessory pouch will see much use by me. It's a nice piece but not something I think I'll use. I used the pouch that came with my Vortex range finder for it and early testing it should work fine.
The finish is more "finished" looking than the FHF box call pouch I have FWIW
Hill People Gear make great chest packs. They're not made for turkey hunting but I have one I use it all the time. Sometimes I will take it over a vest if I'm walking a long ways.
