RE: Looking for a new turkey vest
Hey Mo whats you know 
With so many brands and styles on the market now , it should be easy to find one that you would be happy with.
I bought one form Cabela's about eight years ago and I'm sure that they made some improvements since then.
I suggest you get one with so many pockets inside and out that you won't know what to do with them
really you need alot of pockets for your box calls , your slate/ frection calls , the stikers to go with them , your mouth calls , your decoysand everything else that a turkey hunter takes with him.
I know that each one no matter which one you buy has a game bag in the back pouch with a hunter orange flag to put on for safty and most of have a folding foam padded seat attached to the back.
Just look around , shop and compair you'll find something that will fit your needs and be happywith.

RE: Looking for a new turkey vest
I'm still very partial to the Mossy Oak Elite turkey vest. They have come out with new versions of this vest over the years and I believe that they now call it the Elite II or III? Either way, it comes with 20 pockets!!!
Now that is a plus for serious turkeys hunters who end up carrying many calls with them into the woods. I also like the fact that the drop down seat uses quick release buckles instead of snaps!! This vest has served me well for the last two spring seasons now, and I wouldn't trade it for anything. Check in Cabela's, Midwest, or Wing supply, they all carry it.

Hey man!
I have used the Highback Turkey Lounger and will use nothing else! It is by far the best IMO. You dont need a tree to set up and it has many many many pockets and a great game pouch, it have very nice call specific pouches as well! Check it out and you wont be sorry!
Good Luck!

RE: Looking for a new turkey vest
I'd have to back up Maytom on this one. After 3 other vests, I bit the bullet on a Mossey Oak Elite. I have found my vest. Comfortable. Has room (and pockets) for all my stuff. In fact I don't think I've found all the pockets yet. Enough room in the game pouch for rain gear and 2 decoys. Those springsteel pockets make getting to my stuff easy, yet nothing will fall out. A very good design.
