I've often thought something like this with enough Blaze to make it legal in MN would be ideal for my style of deer hunting. Mainly, I walk with super stealth into a likely location, lean up against a tree, then fall asleep. This would make nap time even more comfortable.

I definitely feel your pain Phil, will have to look into one of these!

Nice vest, but along with climbing up tree stands my days of trying to sit for any length of time with legs stretched out flat on the ground stopped sometime back. Fifty well back in your rearview mirror will do that to you. My personal turkey vest is a Wall's Game Winner that cost me less than 20 bucks. It has plenty of room for all my calls and a couple of collapsible decoys, plus the $4 camo folding chair I picked up at Academy. Chair itself weighs maybe two pounds at most and unlike a built-in I can sit up off the ground, saving my knees and avoiding ticks. It's comfortable enough that the biggest problem with it is falling asleep in the shade.

Phil, how many LARGE pockets does this vest have? It looks like just one. I rely on pot calls (with a diaphragm call too) & like to carry 5 slates, plus a shake gobble call, so I need a couple of big pockets. I also hunt the south where it's usually hot & humid (if ya ain't sweatin' and cursin' mosquitos, it ain't turkey huntin') and prefer very narrow straps for cooler comfort. I'm still using a 15 yr old HS Strut vest that fits the bill. It's worn, has a hole worn in one inner pocket, but I have not been able to find a replacement that suits me as much.

As far as the seat, I too am past sitting on the ground. I've tried every cushion I could find but still kept getting SBS - Sore Butt Syndrome. One of the first times I took a nephew out with me, a bird suddenly appeared a short distance away and we had to sit down immediately. We sat there 45 minutes while the bird morphed into a hen. I tried to stand up and I'd lost all feeling in my legs from no circulation and fell hard. My nephew didn't stop laughing for 5 full minutes...and me right along with him. So, now I use an EveRest Turkey Lounger, which is strong enough to hold my ample self, keeps me off the ground away from those bloodsuckin' ticks, and is so comfortable I have to fight to stay awake sometimes. It's a slight bother to carry, but it's worth it to me.

Longbeard --
The new model has two individual pot call pockets on the right, one big pocket you could dump three more into on the left side. It has two striker pockets inside.

It lacks a couple of pockets the old model had and the straps are wide and padded. Again -- the vest is only okay, but the seat more than makes up for it.

I am fortunate to live and hunt in a place where mosquito season and turkey season rarely overlap.
