Tail Feathers

Water, wipes and a pen for the tag.  And I usually carry some snippers. 
Love to hunt the King of Spring!

Assuming that license and wallet is in my pants and included...

Calls
Binoculars
Phone
TP
snacks/water


If each call is a separate item:

Box call
2 diaphragm calls
TP
Snacks/water

My actual vest:
2 box calls
2 scratch calls
Chalk
Bunch of diaphragm calls (in a diaphragm wallet around my neck)
Gobble call
Face mask
Binoculars
TP
Lens wipes (for glasses and binoculars)
Utility knife
Phone
food/snacks/water
Shoe laces (which have been used for more than spare laces on several occasions)

Did I do that?

Fly fishermen are born honest, but they get over it.

Big Flounder

I too will assume license and tags are included...

1. Mouth Calls
2. Tick repellant
3. Knife
4. Small first aid kit
5. Water bottle

Cowboy

License
TP
Snacks/Drinks

Since I try to hunt alot with the wife or kids, I would have them carry another different 5 items.

I can't make it with 5 individual items. Gloves would be one item, "calls" would be multiple items. But I like the creativity, lol. Z

Plastic sack with TP, 1 extra shell, 3ft piece of mule tape stuffed in my pants cargo pocket. Bottle of water in holster on my belt. Trumpet around my neck. 1 mouth yelper in one front pants pocket, and a Case "toothpick" in the other. 99% of the time , this is what i leave the truck with. Phone and license stay in the truck

You know the normal stuff a dirty south fella needs ...

:TooFunny: ;D

Like others have stated, my list is too long to be limited to five items, but the things I always carry nowadays that have not been listed are a video camera and tripod.  As the remaining three items, I will add my cell phone, hydration in some form, and one other thing. 

SEAL108

1.) Phone with On X, hunting regs, sunrise / sunset, and license information on it.

2.) Calls

3.) Face mask (if not included in camo) or a seat cushion (if not included with my vest)

4.) Insect repellant if needed (location, time of year, temp)

5.) Maybe a jake decoy

Greg Massey

All i can add is i do carry a phone recharging pack and a small little first-aid kit with some extra ibuprofen..  In the first - aid kit i just have a small variety of needs etc.. Always a couple packages of sting kill / aicohol wipes along with band-aids ...


Also i carry a few of the Zeiss / Lens wipes packages for cleaning my optic and binoculars form all that spring pollen.

I carry everything else mentioned above...

I'm carrying more than 5 things, but not a ton more. Couple calls, water, some sort of breakfast bar, face mask/gloves, binoculars.

But none of those are as important as a thermocell...

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.  :popcorn: Z
I was thinking along the lines of being legal and that is why I wrote my first response.
I go into the woods with the essentials everybody already mentioned plus the much-needed supplies needed to maintain this level of hunting superiority!
A.   4 or 5 Little Debbie Cream Pie's
B.   Couple of Moon Pies
C.   Couple of small bags of Cheese Puffs to take into the woods.
D.   2 maybe 3 Sweet Teas
E.   Bag of Peanuts
Oh and a Pocket Fisherman with a treble hook for those birds that might make it over the property line.
