Title: How many calls?
Post by: tha bugman on January 28, 2013, 04:15:19 PM
How many calls do you carry in your vest?  I typically switch between two different vests one loaded to the hills and one fairly lightweight depending on the hunting situation....heavy vest usually has about 10 calls the light one may have 5

Lets see, usualy around 6 diaphargms, then two pots, and about 5 or 6 strikers, and a scratch box, crow call, owl hooter, and a couple of straws form orange sherbert push-ups...makes great little suction yelpers.

Don't forget, headnet, gloves, Thermocell, shells, and wet-whipes.

Probably too many! I'll start the season with a slate, glass, maybe and aluminum, box call, 4 strikers, and a half dozen diaphragms.  By the end of each season I usually end up with the slate, glass, 2 strikers and a couple diaphragms.

I've got 2 pot calls (slate and glass), probably 10 diaphragm calls (only use one or two), a box call, 4 strikers, crow call, and an owl hooter.  I think thats about it.

I carry 4 or 5 mouth calls (Use 2 most of the time), 1 box call, 1 tube call, and a turkey wing....I consider it a valuable call too.

Usualy two pots with several strikers. Two non latex mouth calls. Sometimes I will carry several more pots and a box call if I don't feel like chasing the birds. Less weight is better!

One long box, one short box, 2 pots, 2 strikers, 3 diaphragms, owl hooter and a crow call..and most seasons I find one call that they like and hardly ever use the others. Last year it was a Hooks diaphragm, the year before a Real Hen box call.

I keep about 5 diaphrams with me and one box.

Every year my turkey vest gets lighter and lighter... 

I love calls and probably own more than my fair share but on MOST days, i dont really need more than a few good mouth calls and really I only bring more than one of those because you never know when you'll lose one, break one, etc.... and I dont want to be without a backup
