Turkey/deer vest

[Swamp_bucks]

So I've been kicking around the idea of getting a vest for turkey hunting.  However not really a turkey hunter but since daughter and nephews want to i figured I would need to get some gear.  I want something I could use for both deer and turkey hunting so I get my money's worth.  So I've narrowed it down to 2 they are cheaper but I'm cheap.  But which ones would you guys want out of the 2 for both turkey and deer.

I really like the second one seems to be the best of both worlds but let me know what you think.

I have the second one...or maybe a little bigger version. It's an awesome pack....love it for deer hunting and they sell and add on for turning it into a turkey pack.

can't beat that price. might get that myself. been using a field and stream vest for like 6-7 seasons now. I like it but that alps looks sweet especially for $27

I picked up an Ol' Tom vest a few years back and I dont see me needing any other type.. Is light weight, comfy cushion and plenty of storage room .. I also have a Tenzig Turkey tactical with kickstand and its been pretty good, just a little bulky due to the kickstand. I use it mostly for Predators hunting

I've got the second one also.   Like it for deer hunting.  Haven't used it for turkey. But can't see why it wouldn't work well.

The most important function of a turkey vest over the most of my turkey hunting career has been a good, strong game pocket to carry out the bird.....Carrying a big gobbler over your shoulder, even with a turkey sling, gets old quick when you have to  a lug a heavy bird over steep and rough terrain for perhaps a mile or two to get back to the truck...

Vest #1 appears to have an ample game pocket...The second one looks like a very nice setup, but unless I am missing something, I don't  see any provision on it for carrying a big bird...

The way I hunt now, out of a blind, it is not so important, but for many, many years of running and gunning for turkeys over rugged terrain, a vest with a good game pocket saved me lots of pain..

There is an option of getting a game bag and call pockets extra.  I'm hoping it will be big enough since it has extra buckles on it that I can attach it to the top of the fanny pack.  Guess time will tell it should be here by monday.
