Hey Mo whats you know
With so many brands and styles on the market now , it should be easy to find one that you would be happy with.
I bought one form Cabela's about eight years ago and I'm sure that they made some improvements since then.
I suggest you get one with so many pockets inside and out that you won't know what to do with them really you need alot of pockets for your box calls , your slate/ frection calls , the stikers to go with them , your mouth calls , your decoysand everything else that a turkey hunter takes with him.
I know that each one no matter which one you buy has a game bag in the back pouch with a hunter orange flag to put on for safty and most of have a folding foam padded seat attached to the back.
Just look around , shop and compair you'll find something that will fit your needs and be happywith.

So I guess your saying any vest from a reputable company will be well made and fit my needs. As long as it has lots of pockets.

I'm still very partial to the Mossy Oak Elite turkey vest. They have come out with new versions of this vest over the years and I believe that they now call it the Elite II or III? Either way, it comes with 20 pockets!!!
Now that is a plus for serious turkeys hunters who end up carrying many calls with them into the woods. I also like the fact that the drop down seat uses quick release buckles instead of snaps!! This vest has served me well for the last two spring seasons now, and I wouldn't trade it for anything. Check in Cabela's, Midwest, or Wing supply, they all carry it.

Hey man!
I have used the Highback Turkey Lounger and will use nothing else! It is by far the best IMO. You dont need a tree to set up and it has many many many pockets and a great game pouch, it have very nice call specific pouches as well! Check it out and you wont be sorry!

Good Luck!

I'd have to back up Maytom on this one. After 3 other vests, I bit the bullet on a Mossey Oak Elite. I have found my vest. Comfortable. Has room (and pockets) for all my stuff. In fact I don't think I've found all the pockets yet. Enough room in the game pouch for rain gear and 2 decoys. Those springsteel pockets make getting to my stuff easy, yet nothing will fall out. A very good design.

Check out Ol'Tom turkey vests. They are top of the line and the pockets seem to be in all the right places. I have their pants and shirt and will be buying the vest this year.
