I have the tactical tater I bought a few months ago.  So far I have found that the Lounge style seat is the best I have ever sat in.  It is a little call specific, if you use more box calls than diaphragm or slate calls you will find that the tactical tater is limited in box call pockets.  This is the only drawback of this vest.

Bucklick Creek Lounger from Basspro.  IMHO the best Turkey Vest ever made from a functional perspective.  Unbelievably comfortable.  It does have some minor drawbacks but the (+) far and away make up for the (-).

X2  Ive worn this vest for ten years+  The lounger is awesome, that chair is adjustable and really supports your back.

Since I'm a freaking idiot  :P   I went and bought another Turkey vest.  :bash:  Wasn't gonna do it but I couldn't resist.Went to cabelas to buy some scope rings and saw it there. Actually I REALLY like it. It was $20.00 cheaper at Cabelas than it is on this link.

I upgraded to this vest last year when they were having a sale.  It is pretty awesome and well thought out.  It is also very quiet.

Slayer.....how did you lose the slate call....pocket on the vest too small for the call, faulty closure?  Just ordered the same vest for my son and I as it is  on a pretty good sale right now...close out at Cabelas ...regular price @ $134.99....for the larger size  to now @ $69.99.  Pretty good deal if they work out for us. :chuckle:

Turkey Slayer, Nice looking Merriam's!!  Great pictures but I don't see you wearing your new turkey vest?  :chuckle: :chuckle:

ok phantom here are some pics. of the vest that i bought last year.

You know last year was the hadest year of turkey hunting i have ever had. the snow didn't help but they just would no gobble. That pic of that first bird, I sat up on him 13 different in 3 weeks befour killing him on may 3rd at around 7 in the morning coming off of his roast, i never gave up on him and i beleave that is what you have to do when they act like that.  I am one of those people that once a bird stop talking or leaves the area and i no its a big tom I wont give up til i get him .That dosen't mean to presure him or scare him out of the area, that mean to scout him listen for him in the morning and at night, find out where his strut lanes are, his roasting area. just be consisten. 22.5 pound-10.5 inch beard and 1 and 8th spurs

the 2ed pic is my first bird of last year on april 15 at day light. 19 pounds- 8 inch beard with hook and 3/4 inch spurs
