My thermocell and gps.  I just have a mid range Garmin unit but it gives me the peace of mind to venture out to find the turkeys.

Nothing like seeing a kids eyes light up upon hearing that first gobble.

Gun holder that goes around my leg gets a lot of use from me.

Gobbler Lounger, Thermacell, and an H.S. Strut gun rest all go with me every time I hunt.

Being a bit of a MacGyver, I thought of this DIY gadget some years back. Attach a wooden cove chip to your box call to silence it in your pocket. Flip over the cove and you're calling. Flip it back and you're silent again. Also keeps the chalk from wearing off.

Genius!
Did I do that?

Agreed!  We can expect to see something like that on the market before long, I suspect. ...Clever solution to an age-old turkey hunting problem.   :icon_thumright:  :icon_thumright:

These 2 come to mind. My homemade wing-flapper and Push-pin sock made from a gun sleeve. Both work fantastic, especially my "flapper".

I have a diaphragm turkey wallet/necklace that came free with H.S. Strutt diaphragms years ago...  It is small, simple, and light, and I can get 6 calls in there.  It is always around my neck.  I also have one of my box calls in a call holster, rather than my vest...  Between the diaphragms and box call on my person, I feel amply prepared if I decide to drop the more cumbersome vest to make a (quick) short move, or series of short moves on a bird more freely and quietly.

Good compact binoculars.  Somewhat useful for hunting (and spotting/watching turkeys), but for me, more useful for entertainment...  On a long sit/wait, I get a lot of enjoyment watching wildlife (besides turkeys) with nice bino's.

I like my OnX Hunt app but if I'm going somewhere I have never been before I'm going to have a couple old school back ups on me.

I'm too set in my ways to not have a paper map and a Silva Explorer compass or Brunton Pocket Transit.

If I get "mis-located" I don't want to have to worry about a battery to get me out.

I have a hate, love, hate relationship with them but I can't hunt without them anymore and that would be my blinds and seats. Face paint would be another, even in the blind I paint my face black, especially if I am not able to set up into the shadows as much as I would have liked. Last season I hunted I am positive they were seeing into the blind but I had a tree that had broken and was continuing to settle so I could not set up as far into the woods as I would have liked and it seems they were picking me up more than they ever have since I started to use a blind.

Permethrin!  I'd go in the woods without a gun before I'd go without it on my clothes.
