I hunt turkey and whitetail, and I have different kits for both.

About 20 years ago, I quit using a turkey vest, because it was weighing me down too much. I wear vests a lot, especially when I'm traveling. If I'm riding in a truck or going shopping or just a short hike, a vest does a good job of carrying my EDC and the rest of my kit, but for a hard day of turkey, I found that it was weighing me down. I went to a small messenger bag on one side for calls and ammo and then a musette bag on the other side for raingear and my coffee thermos.

For deer hunting, I carry my outer layer and then put it on when I'm in the stand. That way, I can hike without overheating. I found the best was a war-surplus nylon duffle.

Honestly, for most everything else, I prefer a small pack on my back over anything else.


If you're set on a vest, then I can recommend this:
