Shoe leather is the way to go for us. Although, carrying the rifle, caller, battery, mouth calls, and 'other' stuff - can be agravating at times. Elaboration: I carried all the regular 'stuff' in on a set, plus video camera and tripod. Great set. Clobbered the biggest coyote I have ever shot and got him on film as well. Now, the aggravation. I carried all that gear out of there, plus the coyote. The question that still dances in my head is 'why'? I had it all on video, it was a mid summer pelt and worthless. Duh!!!!
