Title: Who wears a turkey vest for coyote hunting?
Post by: HaMeR on March 23, 2010, 10:37:49 PM
Other than me of course.  :laf: :laf:   I upgraded my $26 wally world turkey vest last year with a real nice vest. I was thinking about the Pay it Forward program here but decided to keep it for coyote & crow hunting. I am very glad I did & happy with the results I get using it to carry different things to the stand. I get e-flyers & was browsing around the Close Outs on the Wing Supply website & found this deal & thought I would pass it along. 

$9.95 plus shipping should make a nice coyote vest with plenty of pockets for everything you need.

I have worn out several turkey vests over the years........ I wear em for turkey, coyote, and small game.
And this does look like a great deal! thanks HaMer.

Association with you folks is bad for my pocket book.  That vest thingy looks like it might be useful for hunting.

I have several questions since in this portion of the world I have never seen a turkey vest:

1. Does it match the leafy suit ensemble Bop talked me into buying?

2.  Is the material noisy?

3.  It looks like it has pockets bulging out the front.  If they have anything in them do they interfere with mounting a rifle?  When sitting?  When standing?

4.  Would it work to wear this vest while also wearing a large day pack?

Jokes aside, for that price I'm tempted to buy it to try it out.

I wear one of those.  My wife sewed some pockets in the front of it to hold some calls, my windicator, and a few other things.  I carry a bottle of water and a granola bar in the game pouch on the back.  Works great!

#1-- You'll never be able to see yourself with the Bopeye leafy suit & this vest.   :nono:

#2-- You will have to llok down to see if your rifle is moving while wearing the Bopeye leafy vest.  :eyebrownod:

#3-- The pockets will only bulge if you put stuff in them. Otherwise they will lay flat. I would never mount my rifle from a standing or sitting position.  :nono:

#4-- There is a pouch on the back for your water bottle & TP roll.  :wink:

:doh2:  Wish I woulda read the last line in your post 1st!!  :alscalls: :alscalls:

The main thing I like about it is that it only has straps over the shoulders & no side panels. This will help keep you cooler while out walking around. Plus the front appears to have a plastic buckle. I would open the front up when I got on stand to get the pockets out of my way.

I don't knwo what i did whitout mine before I got it. Mine had sitting pad and all hte pockets you want for about anything you might want. And they do not get in hte way either. I keep extra knives chains etc in it along with all the calls I think I may need. Inside pockeyts hold water bottel and a few other essentials. They aint just fer yard birds. Jimmie
