RE: Vest alternative
Another thing to think about too is where are you hunting? In Texas, where I live, it can get very hot during the Spring turkey season...especially near the end of the season. A vest adds another layer which makes it hotter. I am not nocking a vest or anything like that, eventually I want to get one, but it is another thing to think about. A vest will definitely have more storage than the fanny pack that I am currently using. I really haven't had any problems with the fanny pack being uncomfortable.
