Home Forums Birds & Dogs Turkey Hunting Avoid the vest?

LOL....depends on what land/type I’m hunting and the birds. I own vests and sometimes use them for certain things, but it’s typically a small messenger or sling pack with some essentials and room for some binos or other optic. Often I have a pack for carrying decoys and/or packing out birds, or just a slip sling tote. I use a lounger chair, with the pack attached a lot these days, instead of an inner tube, just because of an arthritic tail bone and a spine fusion. Having a good lounger has probably helped me kill more birds than my favorite scratch box, mouth calls, or decoys.....to just keep me from fidgeting or deciding to reposition too soon. We have 6 weeks and a 5-bird limit. I’ll shoot coyotes, too....so sometimes there’s a suppressed pistol along.
