Turkey Vest

 I had an paint ball plate carrier I painted sitting around. I never got enough people interested in getting teams going so it was collecting dust. I painted it last September, left it outdoors most of the winter and it still smelled like paint. Hosed it down a few times and let it dry, but a feint smell of paint lingers. So deer and coyote hunting with it is a no go.

But, turkey don't care much about smell. So I ordered an admin pouch to set this al up as a turkey vest. I opted to take the foam pads out.

I have another of the admin pouches, so I know this would be fine for my goal. carry some calls, strikers, extra shells, and my license. A small box call will fit in this pouch as well as locator calls etc. The elastic bands will hold 20 and 12 gauge shells.







Aside from using some gear that was just sitting around, there's another upside to this set up. I can wear my orange vest over this while walking to or from sets.
