Anyone else quit using a turkey vest?

[hoyt]

I got an old Whitewater..I think the name is..about the last yr they offered the leafy and I use it for the camo. Took the seat off..rough it and sit on ground..take a plastic trash bag to sit on incase grounds wet. It also has zip off sleeves that come in handy. I just don't load it up..take very few calls, no decoys or blind.

NO WAY, the turkey vest is part of the hunt. Turkey gun, turkey shells, turkey calls, turkey decoys and thee good ole turkey seat, all with the vest except the gun.

I finally had to give up on the vest myself and go with a backpack and a portable seat cushion. It's just too hot here in Florida. I would love to be able to get rid of the backpack and go to a belt pack but I have too much junk to tote.

Just depends on my walk if I have long walk use belt back with few calls bottle water in side pocket of pants and go but do like all my junk for closer hunting

I've thought about using a fanny instead of vest..I mean I never use the game pouch anyways...just not sure id like the fanny being on my back for when I have to sit down really quick

Sometimes I wear a vest, sometimes I use a small fanny pack. 
Depends on how I'm planning to hunt and where.

Well I went and found the ol tom duralite vestless shirt on clearance for 29.77 on bass pro's website. Had to order one of course. We will see if it replaces the ol tried and true vest

I don't see it happening.

Same here.  If I just hunted for an hour or two each morning like a lot folks, I'd never wear a vest.  But with the amount of time I invest in a days hunt I always wear one.   Just the water and food I carry justifies ones use.

BINGO. I tried a belt one season. Did not work out on those long mornings where I had to sit with my back on a tree. Will be sticking with a vest.

Ive thought about it..but I don't function well at 4am. If I grab that vest and gun, I have what I need.

I use a mouth call mostly.For years I ran through the woods with it in my mouth and crow call around my neck, gun in hand.

Once the vest came along, Water bottle pocket, Baby wipes in a ziplock, shell holders (only 4 shells, no extra weight) bug spray for later season, quick access glove and face mask pockets, brown plastic Kroger bags for mushrooms and bloody turkey heads, and the seat.

Prob most of all, packing that bird out with a strip of orange behind ya, I'll keep wearing it......lol

Not me.  My tactical tatr with all the adjustments becomes part of me.  I am sure I would go crazy with some vests that are long and that do not have great adjustment but not this one.

Not a fan of a vest. To bulky and really no need for all the pockets. I use a shoulder bag made by Penns Woods. It has individual spots for different types of calls.

I just tried to find the link and they seem to have gone out of business. But i came across another nice one. Made by Brossie.

The only thing I will say is that my Penns woods has a light waist strap with a snap clip that keeps it from swinging when I need to run. Im sure I can add one to the brossie.
