The one accessory all turkey hunters need is a good vest. Think of it as the biggest multi-tool you’ll ever own, a portable filing-cabinet or wearable luggage - in any case, ensuring you put the right accessories in the vest is one of the keys to successful turkey hunting.

First, choose the right vest. You’ll need plenty of pockets, storage space and a removable game bag that’s easy to wash. Vests with a built-in hunter orange panel are preferable, especially if you can conceal/reveal the panel at appropriate times.

Next, pack your vest with the gear you’ll need in the field. Use custom-sized pockets for your calls and ammo. Pack your snacks, drinks, gloves, bug repellent, first-aid supplies, and other accessories into the vest’s non-specific storage pockets. Consider taking a camera if you can fit a smaller digital or disposable camera into your vest. Another nicety a lot of turkey hunters opt for is a small, inflatable cushion to make sitting in the field for long periods a bit more bearable.
