Killin Time Turekey Vest

The Nomad Killin’ Time Turkey Vest is designed to be a versatile rig for the run-and-gun turkey hunter. At the heart of the vest are 28 general and specialized pockets, strategically placed to give easy access to calls, cell phone, GPS, decoys and more.

A vertical, long box call pocket with an adjustable buckle and rigid-foam outer sleeve for added protection and a horizontal box call pocket with a built-in chalk holder and locator call sleeve is incorporated. Additional rigid-foam friction-call pockets and dual-zippered, internal pockets with striker holders keep such calls secure, quiet, and easily accessible. Four mesh pockets are places to provide easy-to-access mouth calls, and the vest features an external Thermacell pocket to help fend off unwanted insect attacks. Also, an adjustable, roomy game pouch with decoy stakes is located on the rear of the vest.

For comfort, a stadium-style seat with a removable, high-density foam cushion allows hunters to sit back and relax without having a tree for support, while magnetic attachments help keep it folded and out of the way when in stealth mode. The vest also features 14 points of adjustability for optimal fitment. Dual water bottle pockets help extend the hunt while keeping hunters hydrated, and Nomad even includes a morel mushroom/stow sack, for the intrepid hunter/forager.

Hunters can choose between three Mossy Oak patterns — Bottomland, Shadow Leaf, or Greenleaf. For more information, please visit nomadoutdoor.com. MSRP: $180

Smart Optics 101

Smart optics are changing the way hunters and shooters approach distance, accuracy and confidence in the field. Rangefinding riflescopes, dial-up turrets and integrated ballistic systems are no longer gimmicks. They work, but only if you take the time to understand them and use them to their full potential.
