Coyote Hunting Chest Rig

[RanchhandTCR]

I know this is "snipers fieldcraft" but I know we all love a good day smakin some dogs. Anyone come up with a chest rig to manage a remote, mouth calls and bonus cookie if you got an ass cushion to keep you're feet from fallin asleep. I use lanyards currently and getting annoyed with them. Just wanna see the ideas with current available products you modified or found thay work for you.

A quality bino harness will do a lot of what you want.

I use an Alaskan Guide Creations harness. It stores my binos obviously but also has a front pocket with tether that use for either a kestrel or e caller remote. Mine has the extra zip pocket on the bottom that I usually have a spare mag in. Side pockets with an extra hand call or two.

They have different sizes for bigger/smaller bino’s.

A good Chest Rig one of the best options for coyote hunting. been using mine for long time, Used some different packs and pockets, but just keep coming back to the split-chest rig . Things used most often all night like my E-call Remote, Therm. hand Scanner, right up front easy grab Out, Easy stow away. Plus couple hand Calls, extra batteries ( 2 ) iRay and ( 2 ) 18650, latex gloves, drag line.

I have been running the slydog rig.
Remote on one side, mag on the other, scanner in the center with batteries.
The dump pouch normally holds my drags.

Is that one you made yourself or do you have a link to the seller?

I wear an Alaskan Guide pack, it works for hunting besides yotes. Plenty of room for your PBJ sandwiches and a couple cervezas.

I wear a pack as well just trying to keep the essentials up front so I don't have to yank it off to get things.. byt yea snacks are important

Thays what Im wondering... i dig that

It is nice lightweight, Fits/hangs super comfortable, and I did pattern/cut/sewn that out for me and my personal taste of coyote hunt. I took what I learned from several years of making para harness container systems, and took one of my patterns with the Yoke and shoulder main lift. To then make a real nice comfortable hanging split-chest rig for my coyote hunting.

I like the Crye JPC (v1) to keep the basics up front, with external battery for thermal scanner zip tied on the back. Not huge pockets and keeps things streamlined.

 

[Ranchhand]

Crye precision makes this thing. Add what you want.
I carry binos, range finder and accessory pouch.

 

[hlee]

Consider a turkey hunting vest. Made to hold calls. Most have a built in ass cushion.

 

[Eggman]

this is what I use, for many different things, all year around

 

[Georgedubya]

Another vote for Hill People Gear. Perfect.

 

[Rerun7]

Eberlestock Recon. You can add whatever pouches you need to it. I keep my caller remote in the bino pouch then have a knife, spare mag, batteries, light, calls and rangefinder. It’s been a great setup.

 

[Rudiger]

I’ve got the Kuiu chest pack kitted out and it’s pretty nice. Plenty of room for bow hunting, rifle, and calling.

 

[Kayakfish1]

+1 for hill people gear……I run their search and rescue kit bag for all sorts of outdoor activities I have had it about 6 years and it’s still in great shape besides being dirty

I built my own starting with a Tactical Tailor Mini Chest Rig. This is for hogs, coyote, deer etc. Since I use multiple rifles / calibers I wanted to accommodate large and small frame gas gun mags as well as AICS/AW. I also wanted a AFAK w/ TQ, LRF, Thermal scanner with power bank, knife, flashlight, pistol mag and a place to hang my gloves. Lastly I wanted a pistol holster for pistol with RMR and flashlight for finding dead hogs at night with thermal scanner in one hand and pistol with light in the other which is much easier than walking around with the rifle and thermal scope. I use a HPG Ulundi pack for clothes, water and snacks but everything I need RFN is on the chest rig.

That is quite nice. I often find myself wanting to carry just a bit more than my bino harness with two little molle pouch wings can hold.

I "downgraded" from an Eberlestock to a Cabela's house brand as the yoke is simpler, the bino pouch is a better size, and the MOLLE wings are larger. I usually carry binos, 10 round AICS mag, kestel, mouth calls, phone, gloves, and little things like drag lines, batteries, rubber gloves, and ear plugs. Wouldn't mind adding more ammo and some other trinkets.

I also just this summer made another modification on the chest rig. Fixed a spot to main lift on one side, to hold an Anker battery that I can just cable plug my Therm. hand scan into for long run time power .

That really strikes a perect balance between the basic/too minimalist bino harnesses and full on tactical chest rigs.

This what I did bough a chest rig off amazon. Get enough pouches and pockets for my needs

I like it. Do you carry binos and if so what pouch do you carry them in?

I am looking for something with a bit more carrying capacity than this but still want to keep the compact magnet lid bino pouch:

I don't need a lot of quick access AR mag pouches though.

This Pathfinder unit is for sale and I was thinking of grabbing it:

Im just carrying my 10x lrfs in a "tactical" utility pouch on my belt until i decide what works on this chest rig i could forgo the extra mags and put them in there might be what I do and just add a extra mag pouch to keep a spare mag on hand.. i dont really need quick access to the mags just nice to keep spares on hand for impromptu prarie dog plinkin.

This is the pouch I use... its not fancy or super high quality buts its lasted me 3 years of hard deer and elk hunting in az mountains and deserts.https://a.co/d/5wnA8uu
