I don't get it? :confused:
This an advertisment, endorsement or something I'm missing LOL
I have never used this vest, bt I did use a Primos Turkey Vest for one season. Gave it away. Velcro belongs at home, not in the woods :)
What I would like to see is Badlands come out with a sling pack the size of their Super Day or Day pack.

Okay, Mr. Swampcat guy, just because you're a newbie don't mean you can leave it on a hanger to show us. :nofgr:
Oh no, you have to put it on & model it for us. Front view, rear view, & a side view or two.
I promise I'll do my best not to :hahaha:
I heard some time ago that there were some predator hunting vests coming out. This is the first I've seen. :shrug: I like vests. Iffen you don't believe me look at my avatar. :biggrin:
Thanks for the heads up Swampcat.
BTW How much $ was it?
BIF Welcome to the board. :wink:
I have not used either, but a vest with the 'right' storage configuration(s) would be a nice addition in warm conditions. I have yet to spot one that really fits the bill and would be useful for a variety of different hunting, but pockets for stuff is handy if ya can get in and out of them easily and noiselessly...... I agree 10000% on the velcro. I either cut it off, tape it over or use pieces of it to narrow down the connection. Way too much noise in my opinion.
I haven't seen a predator vest either. I use a turkey vest myself and don't mind the velcro at all. Only time I am fishing for a call is when I am changing stands anyway. Plus I like th big back pocket for carrying hides and such.Jimmie
I use my turkey vest too but someday I wanna call April at the Yoters Den & have her make me a real nice one. She will make em the way you want them I believe.
I use a turkey hunting vest also. It's really light with large easily accessible pockets and a nice thick cushion that folds up outta the way when you don't need it. But not a stitch of velcro.
swamp cat is about as straight as they come guys. it is actually good to see him getting out in the woods and hunting again. If I remember correctly didn't you have a bout with cancer? glad you got it nailed down what ever it was. a guy at work that I kinda consider another grandpa is going through lung cancer right now.
I allways wondered about the predator specific vests. I bought a turkey vest for 10.00 two years ago 90% marked down at kmart. really nice vest. it has served well. I do like the back cushion and buttpad. If I had to get one made it would be the strap design that so many trurkey vests are made like only I would have shell loops for .223 and 12ga shotshells. other then that I would keep the one I have the same. the vests do not seem to fit well after you put a heavy coat on. I was actually thinkin of getting my mother to modify one. and I do not think april at the yoters den can make em any more. forgot what happened but email her.
:confused:
I have an el-cheapo turkey vest...but it has enough pockets, both inside and out to carry about everything I want to carry....and a drop down seat to keep the old derrier dry and comfy :biggrin:
The inside pockets zip and the outside ones snap, so it is quiet enough...I have become rather enamored with NOT carrying a lanyard, as a matter of fact...I dislike them....horribly...so, I put my call lanyard in the left inside pocket, just in case....but I normally just carry two small calls in my right shirt pocket, an open reed Kat Kaller and a very loud coaxer....'bout all I use anymore....the remote goes in my right inside pocket...
I carry my FX 5 in the back part where the game bag is, along with some small poly rope for dragging if I forget my camera...
