Vests are designed to carry your gear in a position you can immediately lean up and sit against a tree and still have access to everything you need. Fanny packs will not give you this, do not have a built in seat and back padding, cannot carry your decoys and dead bird. I love fanny packs for deer hunting but not for turkey hunting. Invest in a good vest with a built in seat and padded back and turkey hunting will become much easier and you'll be able to sit longer.
