What is your favorite Turkey vest
« on: February 09, 2011, 10:09:24 AM »
I have always used a pack to haul my stuff around and am looking to try a vest this year. I am looking to get input of the pros and cons of the different vests on the market. I truly respect all your advice and I know this will be a huge help for me as well as anyone else in my same position.

Thanks, Scott

I have an Ol'Tom vest that I really like.  However I went back to using my fanny pack last year.  I have used it in the past and I should have stuck with it.  It holds everything I need, except for my longbox which I carry in a holster, and is much easier to deal with.

Here's a link for a similar pack like I use. Only difference is that mine doesn't have the separate holder for the shortbox.

I have the Mossy Oak Super Elite.   I thinks its a great vest, lots of pockets.   I can easily carry everything I need for a days hunt.    It does get a little warm in the afternoons.

I've used the SUPER ELITE for years. Nice fit with plenty of room for everything you could possibly want to carry. I got the one with zip off sleeves. Nice option for cold mornings.  RkLu I see this asked all the time and the elite seems to get the nod from a lot of hunters.

... the Ol' Tom T&M Strap Vest, the least "vest-like" vest that I've found - I hunt this one 98% of the time ... 8)

           


... unless it's really cold, then it's the standard Ol' Tom T&M Vest - more of a conventional "full" style vest ... 
     
           

... "to each his own" really applies to this one - comes down to what you're comfortable with & what you're used to ... ;)

 Kim bought me this one in 2005, and it's the only one I have... So, guess it's my favorite! It's the Primos Gobbler Vest.
