By using this game carrier clipped to a belt loop, I don't need my vest on the shorter walks, I just wear a orange t-shirt and stuff a few shells in my pants pockets. I even sent this pix to the makers down in Duluth (Frost River) and told them how good it's working for me.

Edit to add: saw a rather large bear yesterday in my travels. One forgets just how big and "black" those things really are. Thankfully, he was as startled by our meeting as I was.

I picked up one of those bird carriers when I lived in Morocco 50 years ago. Worked well for the resident Barbary partridge. Even better for the coturnix quail that migrated across the Strait of Gibraltar in the winter. The daily limit on those was 50 which sounds ridiculous. But the first day I really got into them, I bagged 15 and only stopped because I'd used up the one box of shells I had with me. But I think 15 was about the limit for the bird carrier. There always seemed to be a Moroccan willing to accompany us as our beater and guide. They also carried birds for us. We had dogs, so the beater part wasn't as necessary.
