I'd like to see that.
A quality paddle caller will most run itself.  It just needs someone to carry it around the woods. Yoder409

Over time...they come to learn how little air a good yelper actually requires. ChesterCopperpot

Well relatively speaking, that was only faster and higher than Ole Massey—-which isn't exactly the highest of bars to shoot for.

Tail Feathers

Gun and boots being the most expensive part of it all, probably $1400 or so purchasing it all new.
Love to hunt the King of Spring!

War Eagle

Buying it all new to replace today, probably $4000. Mostly gun and boots and I got a deal on the boots vs what they cost these days.

Hook hanger

Depends on which gun I take but low side would be $800 if packing light and if I'm loading the vest up and packing binos with a higher level gun easily $3500.

Dang Yoder409 you should of made this question like one of those 2 truths & a lie games. Choose somoene to be it then see if we can spot who's lying. I really wish I was lying because the answer is a bit telling. I think I have a problem! :help: 

HIGH SIDE - with most expensive shotgun I have (20ga $900 & red dot $250), gore-tex rain /cold weather gear, mountain boots, gaiters, binos, bino pack, vest, mutliple custom calls (2 pots, strikers, box, trumpet, tube) garimn in-reach, etc could be up to $3,500+ :z-dizzy:

LOW SIDE - carrying a single shot 410 & red dot, normal camo, rubber boots, binos, a few calls, minimalist vest and a few misc things... if I'm being honest still probably about $900 ::)

If we are talking about current values and not what I paid then:
My old beat up REM 870 with camo tape and 20 year old fiber optic sights has very little monetary value...$200?
My clothes, boots and completely modified Ole Tom vest, are similarly worth little...$20.
Maven binos idk $300 maybe.
The calls I have on me can vary but maybe I'll carry two boxes, two yelpers, two pots, three strikers and a scratcher or pp...
$500 -$12,000 😁
If you ask what I paid for everything I carry then I can tell you honestly, I don't really remember.

:TooFunny:

Cool thread, I'm ~$1750 based on new prices.

Solo, about $2500($2000 on the gun), with the wife 3K. Thats a blind and decoys, not counting her personal gear. Z

cheapest I think ive ever walked into woods and come out toting a bird would have to be in the $500 range (cheap gun, couple shells, boots/camo, 1 call, thermocell, gloves, facemask)

average day would be more like $1200 if I had to purchase all that stuff for that day. Alot of the items I carry have been used many many seasons, some I got absolute deals on, some were gifted to me and alot of them have been heavily modified to fit my needs/wants so they couldn't be replaced off a shelf

HookedonHooks

A high quality bourbon satchel loaded with a few vintage Wild Turkey mini's, a Fox Vest, Glenda satchel loaded with the finest calls in the country, a pricey turkey killing setup, some TSS shells, comfy camo and boots.....

What a great question but a horrible thing to think about.

Going cheap and light, the gun, camo, and diaphragm still over $1700 with a fully loaded day; vest and calls depending probably pushing $6500 or more.

Quote from: Greg Massey on July 06, 2025, 06:45:53 PMI try to make sure I carry less than a 100 dollars worth of stuff, just in case I have to make a run for it hunting with Crow and tal. With these two you never know if they have permission or not ...
100 Dollars....really! You got 50 or 60 dollars worth of Honey Buns in your Glenda Green Satchel!
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!"
