Aluminum pot
Maybe a waterproof one
Crystal pot
Longbox
Scratchbox
Strikers

Gloves
Hat
Face mask

Silent dog whistle
Small light in case a bear blows at me in the dark, somehow it's important to identify how far away they are. Used not too often so the batteries are prob dead

A squealing hen call
That fake nut cracking sound thing
An ozonics so the birds don't smell me

Way too much stuff! I keep telling myself I'm going to go lighter every year. I take a bunch out....then have a panic attack and put it all back in.

I really need to convert my turkey vest into a tree squirrel vest since I stuff all of my turkey stuff in a large fanny pack. I do carry a light with a green bulb which I've read, and experienced, that it doesn't spook turkeys. Also, I've usually got two black plastic garbage bags, one that goes under my ground lounger to keep my butt dry and the other to go over my "stuff" if it rains. A head net to keep off the mosquitoes and buffalo gnats is a must if you are hunting in a swampy area. Then, the usual 3-5 calls, strikers, etc. Oh yeah...be sure that you've got a tissue packet or two for the inevitable "call of mother nature".

So much stuff that if I fell in a lake I would drown.

Third weekend in NY coming up and I should do some house cleaning.

Pitiful part is that even with all that I carry I still am missing something every time out.

This weekend I'm going to rest a bit and not run and gun as much. Going to breakout the decoys and head to the fields and relax in my gobbler lounger.
