Default RE: Vest alternative

I don't remember the brand name on the first vest that I had but it was pretty good except there was not enough pockets. Then I got the Super Elite II and it had lots of pockets but I couldn't get to them. I can't reach pockets on the inside of a vest easily (short arms big belly) and if I took the vest off when I set up I couldn't find the pocket I was looking for without a lot of movement and noise.Even with the seat on the vest I would rather carry one of those short webbed stools to sit on.

If I had a bag withsewn in pockets, designed for turket calls (and turkey hunters) I would have easier and quieter access to all the calls I carry with little movement. I saw a camo tackle box in a Bass Pro advertisement that I received in the mail this week and that is what I'm talking about except I expect that a tackle box would be too noisey since it was not designed to be quiet. But thats basically what I'm looking for.

I could still wear the vest, for carrying coats, rain gear and decoys and for carrying a bird out.To answer your question, I don't like the vest becauseit requires me to move too much, sometimes in way I can't move anymore (I forgot to mention OLD, along with short arms and big belly), and the movement requires time and create noise instead of being able to set up quickly and with little noise.
