Title: Carrying Gear
Post by: Tracker12 on May 01, 2018, 09:35:34 AM
So I have 2 decoys and a chair. Trying to come up with a good carry system. If I take a blind I use my deer cart.  Tried a backpack but two DSD won't go in

It depends on DSDs. Breeding hen and Jake fit into one of the dsd bags

Will the two dekes (or at least the chair and one deke) fit in the blind bag if you take the blind out of it?

I don't want to take non-essential items into the woods; I want to bring essential items from the woods.m

I modified my gobbler chair with a longer strap so I can sling it across my shoulders.  I would suggest getting a large decoy bag so you can put them all in one.

I assume that you are not running & gunning?

I would probably design some sort of pack/strap system in which I could strap the chair and decoys to my back...

When I run and gun i only carry one Deck and no chair.  This is for mostly field sits.

Redhead sells a large turkey decoy bag with backpack straps that works well.  The straps are not padded, so I would not want to be carrying too much weight in it.

I have seen people that use blinds alot carry them on a golf bag pull cart. You could actually, with some extra bungee cords, strap several accessories to it as will .

I use my military issued green seabag and can fit my blind, chair, 2 decoys, and my shotgun in and it wears like a back pack. Very comfortable and if need be, it doesn't get in the way of me riding my bike into my hunting area

That's pretty much my approach too, but to each his own. A lightweight nylon or mesh bag with a generous shoulder strap seems like the way to go unless you rent a sherpa.

I am almost to the point I don't even carry my vest half the time.  Light and mobile.
