This is easy, I remember exactly what I used to harvest my first turkey in the early 80's:

Remington 1100 Magnum 30 inch full choke fixed (sprayed with removable camo paint)
Remington Duck/Pheasant Loads 3 inch #4
Quaker Boy Old Boss Hen mouth call
Tiger Stripe Military PTO Jacket and pants
Herman Survivors Work Boots
Bottomland Camo hat
Bow hunting face paint

I can remember this day, one I'll never forget.

Single barrel shotgun, Homemade calls and first camo was army surplus

My first production call was a slate pot call - Lohman Thunderdome with a carbon striker, which I still have.  The first run of these pot calls with the Yohoo drink can bottom didn't have any marking like the newer models with the turkey inscribed on the bottom.

Later on I got a perfection pot call with acrylic and maple striker and I still have the pot call and strikers.

My first box call was from Terry Hall, Friendship Tenn.  Later on I got a Lynch box .. Still have these calls along with several more from Terry Hall.

I have 3 of these pots and I still have one in the original package with the plan bottom. Ricky Joe Bishop helped redesign this pot call, he worked for them.. Little History

[Turkeybutt]

A Marlin Model 55 Bolt action Goose gun in 12 gauge with a 36" barrel.
That's all I could afford back in the day.
Old Slate call I made myself, or a tube call from a 35MM film canister. Oh, or a Ben Lee mouth call which was made using a lead diaphragm frame.
Old Army field jacket or a hodgepodge of some sort of camo I found.
