[QUOTE="wvmountainhick, post: 1038639, member: 68562"] I've been using a promos vest for 10-11 years now. It's been a great vest. Plenty of pockets and storage for decoys. Having said that, I've switched to the Cherokee Creek inflatable decoys as of late. They just make things easier. Unless you need to set one up in a hurry and it's deflated. To be honest though, I've seen decoys mess up about as many hunts as they've saved. If you've got a bird that's been pressured, he's probably going to play the waiting game when he sees the decoy. The big thin to remember is that we're asking the birds to go against the grain of what's normal. In reality, the hen is supposed to go to the gobbler. We're making them do the opposite. Personally, I've shot more birds without a decoy so that compartment means little to me but it does make a great place to put the bird once it's dead. It's got places to store shells and strikers. The striker pockets are probably the downfall. One would be ahead to place them on a lanyard with quick release snaps as they tend to work themselves out when you sit down and get up a few times. There's a pocket in the front for mouth calls, two pockets for pot calls and separate pocket for a paddle call. If you've not noticed, I really like the vest. Haven't looked for a new once since I bought this one. Good luck in your search. [/QUOTE]
