Turkey Vests

I use a HS Strut vest in APG. Absolutely love the vest from the bird bag in the back, the gun strap that is adjustable on the shoulder and the location/set up of the pockets. The only thing that could be redisigned for better use is the seat. It is comfortable for about 2 hours, after that it leaves some to be desired as well as the triangular shape, but for movement while walking, its triangular shape is handy. Good luck in your choice, I got mine on clearance 2 years ago just after turkey season from Cabelas for under $50 shipped.

Another vote for the Mossy Oak Elite vest. Planning on getting another one before this comming spring season in their Obsession camo pattern. It has much more green in it than their Break-Up pattern. Besides comming with 20 zippered pockets!!!!

camo vest

I got mine last year and love it. Lot's of room . You can even bring your lunch in it :D Pockets galore. It even as a strap for holding your gun while sitting. The model is a hs strutt in realtree camo.

I have used a Whitewater 3D Realleaf in Realtree Hardwoods for the past three seasons. I really like the "leafiness" for breaking up my silhouette, the pockets are well positioned, and the big turkey toting pocket and stowable blaze orange flag make carrying a bird out much, much easier on the shoulders and hands.

I wish it had magnetic closures, but other than that, no complaints.

Just my opinion but the basic style of a turkey vest is the most important thing to consider. Non-paded strap styled vest with any amount of weight in them become very uncomfortable since they tend to cut into your shoulders. A full vest style or wide padded strap disburses the weight and is wayyyy more comfortable.

Outside of that you'll need to determine for yourself how much turkey hunting gear you need for your style of hunting. Along with that your preference of what type of seat pad you need for your terrain and whether or not you need a rear game bag goes into your decision too.

Last year I went to no vest hunting using Ol Tom turkey hunting outfits and accessories to cut down on weight. At home my Ol Tom turkey hunting outfits will hold just about all the gear I need since they are designed with extra pockets for turkey hunters and the seat pad accessory with the magnets in it along with the magnet in the shirt back pad area are quick and easy to use when setting up and relocating for another setup. Also I have a very small, very light weight fanny pack that I wear off of my left hip on those occasions when I need more storage space for extra turkey hunting gear that I don't put in pockets. ;)
