Turkey Hunting Question

[mossyisland]

What is one major and minor thing you will not leave home without and why?

Example:
Major: strutting decoy, hen decoy, turkey chair, etc.

Minor: Limb saw, therma cell, etc.

[ACEINTHEHOLE]

Major: couple mouth calls

Minor:TP

Used to look like rambo going into battle, now I find myself with very very little when I head into the woods.

[JMitch]

TP pretty major. Haha

[JLT]

major - scatter gun and mouth call

minor - bottle of water

[Hambone]

This is what I take turkey hunting: gun, 3 shells, box call, mouth call, compass, seat cushion, binoculars.

pocket full of mouth calls a gun and a decoy is all i need

[ScottyLee]

truly depends on where i'm hunting. if i plan on having to walk lots of miles and spend major time away from the truck.

major- gun, shells, one mouth call, Thermacell, and TP.

minor- more calls, binos, vest/and stool

covering less ground, or small farms-

major- vest with $#!+ in every pocket, water and snacks

minor- decoys, blind (if hunting all day), stool

It's hard to answer. I'm a creature of habit. I carry the exact same things every time I go.

If im on public land, I'll add a compass and a topo

Major: Shotgun, Calls, Wire cutters....

Minor: Snuff, water, trail mix bar

[lilwhitelie]

Major... Mouth calls, at least one extra shell, small can of mosquito repellant since it's lighter than thermacell, vest with seat cushion, gun

Minor..... Decoys, snack, extra face ask and gloves in vest....seems I always lose or forget one of these at some point.

[JLT]

Wire cutters good idea......those fences will ruin a good pair of britches or a shirt if you are crawling!!

[swamprooter]

63#s of !@#$........i look like a one man vandelier band trucking through the woods or hills.

[peewee]

Major: my Lynch fool proof, therms cell and gun

Minor: TP, other calls, clippers


Things to leave at home, folks who are scared of alligators, snakes, mountains, bullnettle, swimming, crossing creeks/sloughs/bayous/lakes and rivers and possibly a fence (of course on your property).

Major-- bolt cutters ( might need to get through neighborhors fence)



Minor-- photo id ( in case you get caught)

Thanks guys! I am getting away from using a turkey vest this year and I am gonna take a back pack instead and use a cabelas gobbler chair to sit in. I just wanted to make sure there wasn't anything I was leaving out of the backpack.
