Default RE: turkey vest

Well i have a Redhead lounger on the way priority mail as we speak. I had the Highback and i have to say that although it was the most comfortable vest i ever used, i didn' t enjoy walking with it. I am only 5' 6" and the pockets were bouncing up and down on my thighs. It really wasn' t a big deal, but it was noticable. Not to mention the fact that for $70 you' d think you could get a vest with some decent storage for your calls and gear, not just a comfy place to sit. I saw somebody mention the Winchester vest sold by Walmart. I have to say they have a very ingenious idea with the molded back piece in that vest. Very nice. I sold the Highback in order to buy the Elite II for all the storage. One thing i have learned, especially due to hunting public land, the " lounger' s" may not have the storage capacity of the Elite' s, but it has one thing that has killed more turkeys over the years than any call ever produced and that is SIT-A-BILITY. I can just plain sit longer, and sit motionless with the lounger type vest then any other one that i have tried. I don' t take many calls in the woods anyway. I' ve used them all, and i come back to the " lounger' s" cause they just plain work and make me a better turkey hunter i feel.
