Title: Turkey vest/bag dump
Post by: packmule on September 30, 2020, 10:46:15 AM
There's a lot of threads started about vest preferences, favorite calls, etc. How about posting up photos of the gear you typically take on a turkey hunt with you to spice things up around here.  Here's mine....

Seeing this thread makes me homesick for our " Spring only" season here in North Carolina. One item I might have missed seeing though is a Thermacell. That is an absolute "defensive" must in my haunts Down East! I do see an impressive method of "offense" though in that prime looking Long Box. Just wondering where you might have acquired that Hunter? ....lol.

I'm lucky, the bugs aren't bad where I hunt, mainly just ticks. A good dose of permethrin prior to the season and I'm good to go for the season.

Nice setup Bob.  Who made the wingbone?  That's a classy call.

I tend to carry too much. And I swap out calls. I will swap between pots and boxes. This is pretty much bag for 2021. I carry a couple of slates and either a ceramic, aluminum or glass. Usually one box, trumpet and coaxer

My set-up is minimal. Herniated discs from my hockey days limit what I comfortably carry.  The Cabelas 1/2 vest is light weight, and carry's just what I need. I am a runner-gunner but do sit for long periods in my key spots. The Speed seat is comfortable and stays conveniently tucked while moving. I change calls daily, but always have a push button, Slate, glass or metal, 3 strikers and box. Thanks, be safe....

Love my Easy Rider. It is cool, organized, and minimal.  I do not always carry everything in the the photo but if I have a pot then it is the screamer and those strikers. If I have a box then it is that box.  I carry three trumpets, may not be those three but it will be one from each of my three favorite builders so just change up the woods.
