Turkey vest and or alternatives

[paboxcall]

I still run a RNG 300 for all day hunts, but this is all one really needs for the morning or afternoon.

Yelper on a lanyard, mouth call, long box call holster on the belt (this one is Goretex, spitting rain the morning I took this pic), dump pouch / pants cargo pockets for miscellaneous gear, and a molle water bottle holster.

I've tried lots of vest alternatives - fanny packs, sling bags, etc. I keep coming back to a vest for my hunting style. i carry about the same load all season, but the best thing I did was trim down how much I carry in the vest. no reason to be dragging everything you own into the woods. really think about what you use and leave the rest at home.

Nice set-up

Nice set-up

Thanks. The belt uses a magnetic buckle, so it just goes right over my cargo pants. Easy on and off.

When I do not wear a vest, I have a few other alternatives, all depending on hunting and weather conditions. One is a Cabelas Speed seat that I modified and added suspenders, and a pot call holder. Great warm weather set up. Also pictured is a chest pack that is light, holds just enough on a rainy day hunt under my rain gear. It is made just for Turkey hunting. Third very minimalist set-up is the belt pack. 2 pouches, the smaller holds license, separated mouth call pocket, and shell loops. The larger pouch fits box, push-pins, etc. This set-up is for real hot days, or when I am on the move. I switch it up through the season.......

very nice Tom! Put some padding for the shoulders and you would have it all!

I love the looks of this turkey chest pack. What is the specific model? I'm just not a fan of the satchels.

I also switched from a vest to one of Glenda Green's satchels 2 years ago and love it.

I'm jumping on the Speed Seat train this year.
I think I'm really going to like it, we'll see.
Most of the time I'm wearing an Ol Tom vestless shirt as well.

I have a backpack I love but the plastic clips on it have broken. Every time I go to a yard sale I try to find old broken hunting gear with those clips on them. This year I will be using my camera backpack so I can also bring in my camera gear, thing is going to be interesting though, stands to about my hips.

I have a bino rig, two range finder pockets and a water bladder pack. All four items are separate, but seem work it.

Is a lot lighter and cooler than a full vest but I like my vest early season.
