 :help: :z-dizzy:

CRAP I THOUGHT IT WAS HEAVY BUT. dang not that much. i added a water bladder to my vest yesterday, i have had it for a few years but really havent used it.with it being so hot now i figured i would need it. i used one of the little pockets in the game bag to put the bottom and sewed a strap to hold the top. i have just about everything in the vest except for a few mouth calls and one box call.
BUT 22 POUNDS. GEEEEZ I AM NO GOING TO ENJOY THAT COME THURSDAY.

22 pounds? Think about if it was 65 at 9000 feet elevation hiking around 6 miles in the back country for elk

My vest used to be kind of heavy. I have lightened it up over the years. I can't carry all that weight and run and gun the valley and ridges here in NC Pennsylvania. Getting older does'nt help. Years ago when I was in the US Army (Infantry Squad Leader)I could carry a pack 60 to 90 pounds but I was in my early 20's then. :lol: No more!

2 or 3 mouth calls in my pants pocket, speed seat on my waist, shooting/walking stick in hand, and out to the woods I go.
I hate wearing a vest.
