As I wrote last year, I’ve quit the vest scene and gone to this: You can get one from www.Wibags.com for $12. My reason for switching was simply weight. I attach a foam pad for my butt and carry a separate over-the-shoulder bag for decoys as needed. Three separate pieces … Continue reading →

I had some more thoughts on this last night: Bum weather– the cold wave made the turkeys come to the protected narrow east-facing pastures to catch sun. I knew where they were going to be. Chest Pains– I had to be careful how I moved. That led to the following … Continue reading →
