I'm looking to buy a chest pack for run and gunning. Are there any specific models that I should consider other than the Outdoor Vision model?

Thank You!

FHF Gear is USA made and pretty solid. They have a chest rig and some turkey specific accessories for it. I don't have the chest rig, but I have a bino harness that I love and a couple other accessory pieces that have all been great.

FHF is what huntineveryday is referring too.  I think ALps and Knight and Hale have them also, have not used any of them personally.

Can configure your own. Not sure if you use binos or not.

I have the FHF and it works well. I do not have their turkey accessories for the bag since I already had add on storage solutions.

Really depends on what you carry into the woods imo. I like it because it can double as a shoulder carry bag.

I think the Alaska guide creations small binocular pouches would make a pretty nice ultralight one, they also have a lot of options to add pouches and packs

I have a run n gun 100 and the hs strut chest pack, I like the idea of a chest pack and keep trying to make it work but I haven't found one I really like yet

The mystery ranch bear spray holsters come up on camofire regularly for $10. It attached directly to the molle system on the bottom of my FHF bino harness and holds a box call well. Very similar to the marsupial gear setup above.

It looks like most of them hold a box call and multiple pots. For those that have used the FHF and Outdoor Vision models, can you comment on how many pots and strikers they hold?

Marsupial Gear has a instagram video showing how their fishing chest pack works well for turkey hunting.

Pack Rabbit.  I bought one two years bag specifically for the same reason you are inquiring, running and gunning with easy access to everything.  It is water proof including the zippers and seams.

Granted, when I bought mine it was not as expensive.  They do run sales from time to time.

I have a thermarest z seat that weighs nothing and i strap it to my belt. Typically i only run this kind of setup when I'm scouting/checking areas and trying to cover ground during season. If i know where turkeys are i always wear my vest.
