RE: Vest alternative
I got a turkey hunting fanny pack from wal-mart about two years ago and I really like it. The pack was only like $12 and it has a decent amount of pouches to hold calls. Here is a list of what I put in it (that I can remember off the top of my head): two box calls, two slate calls with two pegs, two crow class, a push button call, three or four mouth calls, chalk, sand paper, mesh gloves, mesh face mask, small mag flash light, a primos shake gobbler, owl call, a pocket knife, sissors to cut small branch limbs, and a few other little things. It really holds quite a lot of stuff. Not as much as a vest would, but I can carry around everything that I need for turkey hunting. Eventually I will get a vest (maybe for Christams). Wal-mart has been carring these fanny packs for the last three consecutive years now...
