my old man got the Cabela's Tactical Tat'r II™ Turkey Vest and it did not fit him, gave it to me and i like it. It is a little on the pricey side though

I got the super elite 3 last year and love it. It has more pockets than I need, a thick, cushy seat and was fairly inexpensive through Cabelas. :tup:

I have been using this vest.  LL bean sells it... called the Double L.  Very comfortable. I love it.  It won the best vest award last year.  It has lots of pockets.  Priced right too.
Wild Turkey, Walleyes, Whitetails and Wapiti..These are a few of my favorite things!!

I have the Cabala's Tactical series and I like the back support, quick up and down seat with comfortable straps and lots of pockets for the stuff I most likely do not need. The back is great for air circulation on warm days and the front pockets are easy to set up for quick, quiet open close.

I have an Ol Tom Technical Turkey  Dura-Lite Time & Motion vest. Lite has lots of pockets,padded and dry pockets, padding for the back and a quick magnet fastening seat.

I had a Cabelas couch potato vest before worked OK but was heavy and didn't have many pockets, this was an early model though.

If you go hunting with Wacenturian you may end up packing rocks back to the truck!  LOL..

:yeah:
I have had This one for 5 years.  I have NEVER seen one so well done.  I spend two weeks a year hunting tukeys (no jokes; I help guide my dad brother, and family friends also) Has back padding, strap to hold the gun to your sholder while calling, retractable locator call lanyards and all magnetic pockets.  If you fill this thing; your carrying to much CRAP!
Push the envelope of your abilities, but respect the life of the quarry
