Are you a backpacker or do you prefer a vest or other???

[PALongspur]

I've always worn a vest but some days it just gets to be a hassle, especially late in the season. I think I'll be wearing an Ol' Tom shirt next year.

vest but looking for something else

I like my vest with the thick cushion with the seat for my bony butt

For you guys that dont have a gobbler lounger and are thinking of getting one, keep in mind that you will want to lengthen the shoulder strap. It isnt near long enough. I added a 14 " bungee cord to my strap and it is much better. Especially if your going to be using a pack. I carried mine in my pack a couple of times and I needed the pack for other things, so now I sling it.

Usually vest, but have used my mountain backpack at times.

[mnturkey]

I use a pack, vest and a fanny pack.
I usually go out all day and want to have anything I might need available.

couldn't function without my vest, she is getting a little worn and may have to replace her in a year or two

vest. i doubt i could get all my stuff in a pack where i could find it when i needed it.i carry so much stuff the weight would be better on by back but hard to organize.if i just used mouth calls and walked alot and used the run and gun method i would prefer the pack for food,water and basic stuff.

No vest for me.

I wear my normal camo, mouth call in the mouth and maybe a few in a small pouch and a two slates and strikers in a pouch that goes on the belt. Few extra shells in the pocket.

Great ideas guys. Here's how I think I'm gonna set myself up for next year. Fanny pack to carry box call(s), turkey tote,  extra stikers, chalk,couple extra shells, owl hooter, maybe an inflatable decoy. Think I will add on a pot call pouch to the waist belt to hold them. A few mouth calls in front pockets. Lightweight rain poncho in cargo pants pocket if condtions call for it. I'm trying to go as lightweight/cool as I can yet still have a variety off calls to choose from being I travel alot over hilly terrain. I can still handle sitting on the ground for a decent amount of time if I select the right spot. I was pretty much set up like this for this year minus the pot call pouch. The main difference will be adding more and better quality calls to the set up.

Vests, backpack and neither all have their place in my hunting style. If I am running and gunning, trumpet around my neck and couple of mouth calls. If I am staying out all day, vest with everything but the kitchen sink in it. Hunting with the kids, backpack it is for all the kids crap plus a few calls.

Vest...high back lounger (Bucklick Creek/Redhead).  Yes, it does get hot on the back and shoulders sometimes but I have a system, comfort/versatility siting and all my stuff with me with one grab and go from the back seat of the pick-up.
