I've got the kitchen sink in mine. But one thing the previous posters are missing is a snake bite kit. I hate those SOBs and have had too many close calls not to carry one.

I always start out with way too much and towards the end of the season it keeps getting lighter. I start asking do I really need this?

WAY too much stuff! Of the calls I carry I usually end up using the same one most of the time!

My wife will tell you there has to be a kitchen sink in there somewhere.
Pot calls, box calls, crow call to annoy them, water bottle, TP, fire starter, chalk, scotch brite, sand paper, cell phone, rain pants and jacket, turkey shells and dead coyote shells along with a few grouse loads, leather man Juice X6 and a water purifier. Told you too much stuff but it is fun!

David Mills box call
Supreme Strut Buster
Unknown name custom slate
too many strikers (did end up loosing my favorite last year)
box chalk
scotch brite pad
thermacell
extra gloves
extra headnet
turkey handle with measuring tape
2 extra 12ga shells
3 extra 20 ga shells (for the many times that I don't carry one - did I mention I don't own the 20ga that I've used in the past  :-\)
I'll throw a bottle of water in there and maybe a granola bar come opening morning
crappy crow call

All my mouth calls hang around my neck (2 Perfections, 1 Tom Teaser, and 1 I can't remember the name of)

I am going to try something different this season. I am toting the Gobbler Lounger, Turkey Gun, a mouth call, the Crystal Freak, and a Lynch's World Champion box. Leaving the vest at home.

I am going to try it like this a couple mornings since these calls are what I generally use most. If I feel like I need more, I will drag out the vest and all the goodies!

I use to do the kitchen sink thing, but now days I just give my calls turns. Some one day some the other. I always try to go as light as possible and never do.

Hunting with flintlocks and recurves you'd think I wouldn't even use a turkey vest..but I'm not a Traditionalist or PC (period correct), I just like to hunt with flintlocks and recurves. However, to ease my conscious I sit on the ground and leave the seat cushion at home.

Title: Re: What you got in your turkey vest?
Post by: YoungJake on March 14, 2012, 12:14:30 PM
a box call, few mouth calls, pot call and some strikers, TP, my phone and wallet.

One old lynch box, three pots (one ceramic, one slate over glass acrylic, one mahogany slate over glass) eleven strikers of various materials, about a dozen various diaphragms, two dekes plus stakes, shells, license, water bottle, granola bars, headlamp, spare batteries, digi camera, prunning shears, tree umbrella, toilet paper, phone, aerial or topo maps, facemask and gloves,spare facemask and gloves, orange cap, and wet wipes. I dont use half this crap but i hate being unprepared, funny how as season progresses and i run and gun more, the vest empties out rather quickly!
