Title: Just ordered one of these! Tenzing-TP14-Turkey-Hunting-Backpack

Due to the diversity of my hunting terrain, I found out YEARS ago that using a vest with a "lounger" built in is critical in helping me stay out a long time. I do occasionally run and gun, but found that for me, sitting in an area I know they like to go and waiting them out is far more effective and doesn't spook birds like stomping through leaves and crossing pastures.

SO I am in the market for a new vest and came across this. I have never seen one in person and just ordered it from Cabela's. I did see the Tenzing packs at Bass Pro Shop and the build quality is AMAZING. They didn't have this model with the kickstand legs, so I am going off of faith and all the positive reviews. I hope it is as good as it looks and sounds. Lots of great endorsements and looks extremely comfortable!

Anybody have one of these?

I wouldn't have ordered from Cabelas. Too pricey. I know no one who bought the legs n kept them in. Last year I bought the same pack without the legs. It was 130 bucks I think. The vest is well made, the only thing I don't like is the pockets are small. Other than that maybe too well made for very hot days. Other vests have thinner material, not my style as I don't want something ripping way in somewhere. I think you got a good vest but shoulda ordered on Amazon. They have it 229, Cabelas is prob more

I understand your point. The link I posted was the cheapest I saw, it was from Amazon. I am getting a special deal at Cabela's and a one time price that is lower.

Look at the Cabelas vest with the kickstand. I've had mine for two years and absolutely love it. The kickstand/frame works just as well against a tree as it does with nothing.

$230? I didn't pay that much for my shotgun. But to each their own.
