In reply to Austin Werbelow. You know. I never really have a problem with them. I can see from the picture they are hanging, but you can tuck them back on themselves to keep them from swinging. They haven't been an issue for me. Thanks for the question Austin. Take care. Ben

What do you do with the straps so they are not hanging and swinging all over the place? Cut them or Bobby pin them?

In reply to Jerry Pecha.

Jerry,

Great to hear from you. The Q5 and the Q5 Centerfire vests are very nice. In my opinion, the original Q5 vest (the one shown here) is a great vest and the game bag will definitely hold a couple of pheasants. If you are looking for a bigger game bag, you should look at the Q5 Centerfire vest (http://azwanderings.com/q5-centerfire-upland-vest/). The bag is much bigger and the whole vest has more storage. I cannot speak to the electronics attachment and it’s ability to hold your Garmin/Tri Tronics. You should give Dan Priest an email. He is the owner of Q5 and will be able to steer you in the right direction (https://www.q5outdoorproducts.com/crm.asp?action=contactus). Hope that helps. Take care and good luck this season.

Sir’s,
Will the electronics attachment hold a Garmin/Tri Tronics model “Pro 550” with ease?

Thanks,

I am very interested in the Q5 vest but in Nebraska where I live and the Dakotas and Kansas where I hunt there are still a few pheasants to be had. You describe how it holds “shells, water, first aid kit and camera,”. I’m old and not much for political correctness so now and then I like to take a few pheasants in my wanderings, that said I don’t see much room for pheasants to be transported in the Q5. Am I incorrect? What caught my eye was the electronics attachment and it’s placement, I like it and need it!!
I would appreciate your feed back if you can help me hall pheasants and quail w/a Q5.

Thank you,
J Pecha
p.s. Don’t get me wrong I carry a camera, shells, water etc. Also, I like plastic hardware as it does not damage the butt stock of my guns as metal WILL.

In reply to Steve Selvig.

Steve,

Absolutely, you’ll be able to get a limit of grouse into the Q5. It’s a great, lightweight, and durable vest. Best of luck.

I’m looking hard for a hot weather vest. However, mine will be used for blue grouse, ptarmigan and prairie grouse in Colorado and Nebraska. Is the bird bag big enough for a limit (3) of grouse? (Not that my mediocre shooting will ever produce a one morning limit!)
