I was kind of skeptical of the M2, but have a bit of a turkey vest addiction and had to try it for myself. My intent for it was to be a multi species vest (small game, pheasant, turkey), which it is versatile in that regard, but it wasnt ideal for me for turkeys so I didnt keep it. It's a very nicely constructed vest and a great concept. However, I couldn't get around just having the two pouches restricted to being mostly on my sides. I prefer having more individually dedicated pockets and really like having them more on the front of my stomach. I also have to have a dedicated box call pocket I now realize. IMO, I think the vest is good for more truly minimalist hunters who spend a lot of time on their feet covering lots ground. Thats just my take on the M2.
