Hoyt razor tec. 

And my own copper friction call.

My walnut trumpet

Lynch box

Hen decoy, maybe...

Thats it.  I travel light.  No vest, no seat.  Just me and the camo I have on.  Calls on a lanyard or in the pockets.  Seems every year I drop more items that I feel did not have value for the hunt.  I hope to keep the camo and cloths on :TooFunny:

Benelli M1 12 guage, Hevi 13 3-2-6s, Halloran Crystal Mistress, Lights Out aluminum, Nature's Echo walnut slate, Woodhaven Sadler McGraw mouth call and one hen decoy.  Waiting on a custom box from Larry Gresser.  If it arrives before start of season I'll be carrying it, too.  Haven't settled on the choke yet.  Have a number to choose from, just depends on which one tests best with the Hevi 13s.

I will be using a 56" Jim Reynolds Thunderstick longbow at 65lbs. with wood arrows from Paul Jalon at Elite arrows tipped with a Ace 160 grain broadhead.
When using Pappy's trumpet and pot calls you have to give them some kind of chance.
Also will be throwing some sweet talk with the Hooks mouth calls.

Realtree AP until good green up then itll be APG. NEF single shot IC .660 choke h-13 3 1/2 7's. Rocky snake boots, thermacell. Order of use Palmers hoot tube, roberts brother glass tree talkin with the small slate side, C.C Smoker diahpram to get him popin off if hes in the mood and that should do it. If need be ill also bring along a comehuhtome aluminum, woodhaven real hen box, heartbreaker by primos, call girl by tom teasers and a couple diaphrams out of a new order(couple new recruits by hooks, tom teasers, cane creek and legacy)that should prove themselves deserving off going in the vest coming anyday via midwestcalls.

Remington 870 super magnum sporting a Knoxx SpecOps stock, Indian Creek choke tube, and home made sling.  It will be loaded with either #5 Winchester high velocity 3" shells or #7 Hevishot 3" shells (probably the latter).  I'll be carrying 2 custom Lightsout laminate calls, a Primos power crystal, one of 3 Southland calls, and an assortment of Woodhaven mouth calls.  I'll be packing my home made decoy I affectionately call Turkzilla.  He's helped put down a few in the past couple of years.
