A Skoal tobacco can for mouth calls...drill holes in bottom for moisture to get out...a hang rope/string to carry bird out over shoulder...small tape measure...scales...toilet p.....cap light...extra batteries...and doesn't hurt to have a rabbit foot hanging some where because we all need all the luck we can get and that's not enough most of time.

Never leave home without my turkey wing, great for scratching and lots of other turkey related sounds. I keep my mouth calls in a no loose case on my vest chest strap for quick access. I bought "buddy lock" system components and sewed them on my vest for my GPS and water bottle or thermo cell if I need them. I use bread bags with a rubber band to slide over the birds neck to keep blood off my legs. Thick rubber bands for fastening turkey tags. I customized my seat so it flips up between my back and the vest so it is quiet and not hanging up on branches when your trying to be sneaky, yet quick to get ready.

I have a 3 gallon plastic bucket with camo seat lid. 3 gallon size is perfect. It held floor leveler in its first life. Roughed it up and spray painted with flat black, green, and tan. Makes a great seat, especially when you a little extra height. Great size for ground blind too. And, of course, you can carry stuff in the bucket.

Keep an portable phone charger and cord in my vest. Mine is an EOTECH that is about the size of a roll of sprees and has a built in light. Will get me about one full charge from completely dead

One of my personal current interests is nest predators and how a majority of hunters, where legal bait to the extent of chumming coons.  However once they get the predators concentrated they don't control them.

I keep a couple garbage bags in my truck to put over the seat when I come back drenched. That way my truck doesn't end up smelling like a stagnant pond. Always carry gallon ziplocks for morels, a pair of thin rubber gloves and a pen with black tape rolled around it for tags.

Cut N Run

I carry some rolled, pre-cut sections of thin wire for tying limbs back rather than cutting them off. It works great if you have a spot you plan to return to because there will be good cover next time that isn't as obvious as a bunch of dead limbs sticking out of the ground.
