A Bow Hunter’s Turkey Vest

Why this tool is so important at the moment of truth.

A Bow Hunter’s Turkey Vest
  • Facebook

Turkey vests solve the “where” problem.  When a turkey suddenly gobbles just over the ridge, you know you want to make a subtle, alluring call, but which caller to use?  You may have half a dozen to choose from, and you need the right one quickly.  If you have your gear in a backpack, finding the right caller quickly and quietly may be impossible, and, “Oh no,” what if you forgot it?  While wearing a well-designed turkey vest, you can have the exact caller you need within seconds with minimal movement, and the game is ON!

Alps Outdoorz makes a small turkey vest designed for carrying calls and a few amenities. It works well when you have lots of ground to cover, and you won’t be sitting for long periods of time.

Organization in Camo

Once you pack a turkey vest with the gear that you most need, you don’t have to remember to bring it on the hunt.  I’ve had turkeys suddenly gobble as I arrive or about to depart a location, and I can grab the vest, slip it on, and know I have all the gear needed for the challenge.  Subtle things are easy to misplace, like a special diaphragm caller, scuff patches for a slate call, a rainproof striker, a crow call, chalk for a box caller, and other specialized gear.  Once you organize your gear, you will know that you have it and can find it the second you need it.

Comfort Builds Patience

Patience is an oft-overlooked element of success.  Sitting against a knobby pine tree in pine straw crawling with ants and other bugs can quickly challenge the time needed to wait out a reluctant tom.  With a soft cushion and back pad, treated with insect repellent, that grueling sit suddenly becomes more manageable.

Many turkey vests have a fold-out panel of blaze orange, an ideal safety measure when walking on public land.
