What's in your vest?

[woolybear]

Travel light with only what you plan on using for the days hunt neatly and silently packed away..everything has it's place and is well organized..

OR

...fill 'er up..., 'pots and pans' clanging as you make your way through the turkey woods. Clucks and putts sounding off from your pockets with every step. Calls and ammo scattered on the ground as you search for your 'go to call' to seal the deal when that booming gobble errupts just over the rise...

I'am in the woods before daylight with a loaded vest, but usually by the end of the hunt I have tossed the vest and put a few calls in my pants pocket for the "run-n-gun"..lol

Just a Squealing hen!!!

Haha thats alright, Im willing to be the guinea pig. Somebody has to try it right?

I try to keep my vest as light as possible. I will have 2 slate calls, strikers, 3 mouth calls, 1 box call, facemask, 2 pairs of gloves, a decoy or two, 1 crow call, 4 turkey shells, and for the first time this year....a Squealing hen. It might be staying home after the first day though.

Gotta admit, up until a few seasons ago I carried everything but the kitchen sink with me. What a mess, not to mention all the gear I lost along the way. For about 3 years now I've been getting by with what comfortably fits in my 6 pocket pants.

[dbHunterNY]

Primos predator vest w/ HS bun saver seat. For calls I carry Primos or locally made calls from here in NY; Will Primos mouth call, Primos jackpot slate, Mountain Hollow Crow call, Moutain Hollow Double Talk Xtreme pot, and a KITS cherry box call. If I bring decoys I've been using a rubber collapsible decoys from Dick's Sporting Goods.

That's why I bought a vest instead of a fanny pak. It holds more items that you can't be without and in their own pockets too!! Got one of those 20-pocket vests that seem to work very well for my needs. I have to admit, I tried a few over the years before settling on this one. I would feel naked without it.

[Limbhanger]

My Primary calls I always have on hand.

1. Few different mouthcalls

2. Lynch Jet Slate

3. Billy Whites Hustlin Hen Boxcall

4. Primos Aluminum Pot Call

5. Cody Glass Call

[Bowtech_archer07]

Well just bought a new vest at Cabelas (Mossy Oak Super Elite III) last year with more pockets than I know what to do with but here is my list:

HS Matrix 360 slate call

A custom glass pot call that Casey gave me last year

6 strikers

2 mouth calls

1 box call

2 owl hooters (don't ask, lol)

1 crow call

1 gobble call

1 hen decoy

1 jake decoy

scratch pads for slate call

Water/Gatorade

I'm sure there are a couple of things that I'm forgetting but that is pretty much it..

[redkneck]

Usually have about 4 mouthcalls, a slate, and a crow call. I dont carry a pack, if it dont fit in my jacket it stays in the truck.

Since I switched to hunting with Ol Tom turkey hunting clothing I don't use a vest anymore. They're designed to be able to go vestless. I do put on a very small fanny pack with the pouch off to my left hip to carry water, a gobble call, a little TP, a short turkey tote rope, extra batteries for my holosight, and extra stuff to condition my slate calls. I clip my thermacell on it too when it's needed. I have 2 Ol Tom double slate call pouches I clip on to my belt loops if I decide to carry both. I usually just carry one at a time with 2 slate calls & strikers though. I put 3 diaphram calls in my call case, 1 box call (sometimes), limb clippers, 2 sets of gloves & face masks, crow call, ammo, knife, a small flashlight, extra strikers, and a little TP in a zip loc in the pockets of my camo outfit. Seat pad clips to my belt and it's designed to attached to the back of my shirt with magnets built into both when fipped up for travel.
