Getting ready.
« on: February 17, 2016, 08:22:04 AM »
With our private land youth day being about 3 weeks away and our private opening being in a month and 3 days I have started preparing the vest. I have chosen my calls and gotten them put in the vest. Also got my thermocell, gloves, back track, masks, tote, and a few other items in it. There may be a few items here and there to add but she would be ready to hunt tomorrow and I know for sure I am ready to hunt!

It looks like a bunch of calls, but honestly I have cut back on the calls I have been carrying the last few years, haha!

Let the count down begin!

Looks like a heck of a starting line-up. Will start scouting this weekend.

Nice set up.
How do you like that Black Widow?
I'm thinking about buying a cheaper call for rainy hunts. Since I'm limited to when I can go I need to make the days count.

Yeah, I love the black widow. I have other glass calls but that one stays in my vest. The black widow, the triple glass, and a power Crystal (old one) are three really great production calls.

Ok thanks for the info. I've never used those but I'll probably pick up one and try it.

My starting line up. I'll have a few odds and ends in the vest, but that's my call line up. One pot will end getting benched as I usually carry two not three, but I can't decide.

Not sure who made the box, it was a gift.  It's got a strutting gobbler with a hen.  Thanks about the wingbones, a side hobby of mine.  I used gobbler bones and hen mouthpiece.  I've made them with all gobbler bones before, little deeper tone but sound good.  I've got some jake bones to piece together on my workbench.
