New 2022 Turkey vests

[3chunter]

Think I have the same vest from 2006 ish.  Been sewed up numerous times. Super elite.

What's the chance of a Sitka vest in bottomland

I'm gonna guess 0%. I don't care for there camo patterns.

I will be going to Nashville though so I will see what all is available there.

Saw the vest today; typical Sitka camo pattern and no option.  Kind of a minimalist vest, not something I'd be interested in.  Retails at $249.  It is at the David Halloran booth.

I rigged up my Marsupial Bino harness to use this season.  Added a kifaru hydration pack. Should carry all I need. Have been using the K&H RnG 300 past two seasons.

You may have just created the best vest.  That really peaks my interest.

Is that a bear spray holster you have your box call in?

[Lucky Goose]

He said it was a bear spray holder but it was tight so it may not fit all boxes.  Kifaru and marsupial both make a hydration pouch, but I think the kifaru is more versatile and better designed.  That system would be great and you could easily attach your favorite butt pad to the back and flip it up and clip it.   I think i'd store my strikers inside with the bino's to keep them dry from my sweat though.

You're talking around $400 all said and done for that setup.  Buy once, cry once all USA MADE gear though!

After getting the Turkey Pro, I ended up sending it back. I'm below average build (5'5" 160lbs) and it just did not carry comfortably on my chest. My chest and torso are too narrow and it felt bulky and uncomfortable on me. For larger folks, it may be a better fit, but didn't work out for me. I then decided to pick up the run n gun 200 and initial impressions of it are much better.

I really like that vest design.  I hope you have better luck with the stitching than I did.

You might want to look at alaskan guide creations stuff, made in the us too. I'm think I'm going w their bino harness and bladder pack. Kuiu has something similar , theirs is a bit cheaper , it nets out at 180 w a bladder. 

The sticking point w all of them for me is a box call holder.  I may just go w a readhead holster ( the one for a belt loop) and thread it to the right or left on the harness chest strap.

get a yoder long or short box holster and run the chest strap of your vest through it to carry it on your chest. works great for me

That is a great setup! Love to have a vest system like that.

Ol tom gunslinger looks pretty solid but I'm not sure about the one size fits all, usually those are just too big and floppy for my frame.

I'd need to see in person

Does anyone have any idea when the Gunslinger will be available? I've been using the Nomad MG the last few years but haven't been crazy about it...

Just noticed NMG Bull Lounger

I am a big fan of the chest harnesses. Fit my style of hunting perfectly. Have been on the hunt for the perfect one.

Purchased the Run n Gun 100 and it's almost perfect. Only issue are the internal slate call pockets are extremely difficult to get calls back into -- going to see if I can modify it. And it's just a tad too small to close properly with 2 calls and my vortex 8 x 32's in there.

Also have an outdoor vision pro turkey on order, looks promising but also look more bulky.

That bear spray holster fits my box and it's made from don Watkins. It's a little tight but has loosened up some leaving the call in there. It's almost perfect. Def wasn't the cheapest option. But does what I want it to well.  Look forward to using it this season.  There are different bear spray holsters on the market. I went with the marsupial to match up with my Bino harness. I also have a Fanny pack to throw into the mix if I wanted more options. Like I said tho a Vest would be the cheaper option! But I like my binos being with me. And it cuts out on some bulk from the vest.   I did look into the outdoor vision setup. It kinda looked big. With these attachments my Bino harness really isn't to bulky. And won't really be in the way shooting or sitting. I'm always wearing it when I'm in the woods anyways. So this makes sense.
