Vest or bag?

Personally I like my vest over a bag. Do you use a vest or a bag while turkey hunting? What do you think pros and cons to both are?

For me, a vest distributes the weight more evenly than a bag carried on one shoulder.  And it doesn't slide down.
I've tried fanny packs but they slide down all the time due to my "noassatall" disease.
Love to hunt the King of Spring!

I use a pack for my turkey gear, I have been trying to cut down on what I carry and going with the essentials.
Here's what that looks like.

I'm glad you posted this.  Every year I look at turkey vests and wonder why so many people use them.  I've only ever used a regular camo back pack.  I'm sure that it's one of those things where once you use one it would make sense and I'd think, "how did I live without this."

im a turkey purse kinda guy haha but seriously im essentials only and find that a satchel works good for how i hunt. i bought one of those tom teasers quick sacks two years ago and it has worked out well so far.

I'm a vest guy.  Distribution of weight, distribution of calls, a comfy seat attached, easy to grab items such as flashlight, shells, calls, and even TP.  Not bulky.

Another vote for the vest. :gobble:

I am a vest guy. I don't carry a whole lot of hunting equipment but I like being prepared in case something happens while a mile or more back in the mountains on my own. I carry a couple pot calls, a scratchbox and some diaphrams.

After getting Badlands monster fanny pack/ bag I gave all 3 of my vest away to new turkey hunters. For me the vest is entirely too hot .
