I'll buy tags for various states, other than that maybe a call or two - nothing big this year. I'm pretty set.

A few new friction calls, owl hooter, crow call and mouth calls.  I don't spend much on turkey hunting anymore, I'm pretty well set up. Mouth calls are usually all I buy. I may have to buy ammo this year, I need to check my supply, it's been several years since I've bought shells.

License for 2 neighboring states. Also, I got to play one of Al Holberts (enticer) silver thunder calls at the sportsmans show the other day. That thing really sings with his carbon striker and does well with several others as well. I'm excited and now prepared for bad weather hunts.

I'm not sure yet. I bought all the stuff I need to reload TSS including a drill press, bought a trip for my dad and I in Ok, and should be pulling the trigger on a Polaris crew 1000 before the end of the month. I think the trip with my dad my end up as number one, but probably get most use out of the range.

I bought a Pittman Sapphire and I just ordered a Hooks Hoot'n Stick. I am looking at possibly saving up and buying a dedicated turkey gun. Other than that, some shells to hunt with. That is about it for me.
