Loaded on right side, empty hulls go on left side. Been doing that for almost 30 years.

I had a fanny pack that I sewed shoulder straps. A lot of times it is too hot for a vest. Safety pinned on the game bag. I want the bag removable so I can check for fleas, etc.

Reminds me of hunting with a Yankee. I said don't shoot them while they are running on the ground. He replied, I'm going to wait until they stop.

I use a shell box holder that's used for trap or skeet shooting. I keep the box closed until the first 1 or 2 rows of shells has been used. It attaches to my belt. Game vest for empties.

GI issue web gear, the ammo pouches hold my shell, I also have the butt pack that holds the birds, the canteen for water. My set up is over 50 years old. Unlike a vest it is not hot, the suspenders take the weight off the belt. .

For the past seven years I have been using a Wing Works strap vest. Final Rise makes a nice one as well.

My carrier has two pockets on each side and a bird bag in the back (like those above). #9s go in the left pocket and #8s go in the right. Hulls go in the right.

Yes you can’t see the pockets. They are folded under the bird carrier part. Here’s one with me wearing it:
