You have the camo you wear, boots and hat, weapon and ammo and vest. What 5 things do you bring? Think carefully. You want to legally harvest your turkey. I dont think I can successfully and legally do it. This should be all over the map, lol.

You did say, "You want to legally harvest your turkey." With that said.
# 1 License.
# 2 Map of the area or property lines.
# 3 Some areas a Permission letter to hunt the area you are in.
# 4 If you hunt out of state a rule book to refresh yourself on the rules in your area or the state your hunting.
# 5 First Aid Kit
Life is not a journey to the grave with the intention of arriving safely in a well-preserved body, but rather to skid in broadside, tired, beat, thoroughly used up and totally worn out from chasing turkeys and loudly proclaiming; "WOW -- What a Ride!"

I don't see calls included so I'm assuming you meant it that way.
1. Trumpet
2. Wallet with license
3. Cellphone (mapping/gps)
4. Peanut butter and crackers
5. Water
I am pretty minimalistic when I hunt anyway, but I usually carry several more calls. But I would stick to a trumpet or air operated yelper as it would work regardless of weather conditions. License for legality. Phone for emergencies,location, etc. Then food and water to get me through if a long day.
Looking to buy Allen Dunfee scratch boxes.

I posted a video of my vest dump last year and everyone acted like I was packing enough stuff for an overnighter lol. I didn't think I was carrying that much.

Wet wipes, mouth calls, pot call, binoculars, bug spray
Nothing like seeing a kids eyes light up upon hearing that first gobble.

In some states you're going to need a pen. They require you to sign the tag when you kill.

1)Phone-which has license synced, so even if not in cell range I have license, can check bird in on phone, and can use Basemap for property lines. Some of the places I hunt have little service, so I pre download those areas.
2)Thermacell (I spray down with bug spray before I leave)
3)water
4)Binoculars, rarely need them but love it when I do have them
5)Striking paper of some sort (usually a handful of paper towels)
