[beardhunter87]

Hey guys I was just wondering if you've already had your opening day or your opening day is coming what will be in your vest? We all have a ton of calls but I would like to know what made it to the woods box calls Strikers pot calls purr pots etc.
This is what I will bring in Missouri Season 2018::::
:. Zebrawood Mistress
   Schaffer Mahoe Crystal
   Jesse Smith Rosewood Glass Aluminum
   MAC Cherry Aluminum
   ( Maybe for my slate my Lonzo Slate Aluminum or new Halloran)
   AGE Tulipwood Trumpet
   Watkins Bloodwood Limba Longbox
   Van Cise Snakewood box and Halloran Ebony/Walnut Box
   Mouth calls I'm a bring Houndstooth Double Batwing
   Calling all turkeys 3 call set
   Woodhaven Ninja series

Maybe throw in my Jeff White Scratch Boxes cause they are pure turkey( if I can make room lol)

  Strikers:
I love Neal Hermans charcoal and Rutland Dymondwood
Stuckey Ebony, Roberts 2 Peice Dymondwood

Toughest thing is not bringing all my pot calls cause I have so many killers Im a rotate in and out but which ones make it if you only had that one good weekend to start?

[appalachianassassin]

all im carrying this year is a Halloran top shelf crystal with a cherry striker and a 2 gooserbat mouthcalls. any more than this is unnecessary. what did you think of the Halloran ebony/walnut box, I gave mine to a 11 year old kid. I thought it was, hmmmmmmmmmmmmmm, not very good.

[beardhunter87]

Top shlef is a good one. Wish I could carry 3 things but if I did I'd have alot of wasted money in my collection. Seems to me every year they like something different or each day they may want something else like a yelper, or metal type call. Anyways good luck this spring

Well ya didn't like that I brought more than 3 calls and hate my Box call lol

Hopefully a dead gobbler is what I'll have in my vest!

But call wise probably just new Sinclair brass I picked up, Hanks signature glass, no-name slate, and assortment of mouth calls.

[J.D. Shellnut]

Hopefully about 11 inches of beard and some sharp hooks!!!! A wicked sister a bottle of water and some tp!

   Finally upgraded my old vest and sprung for the Alps Outdoor Z Grand Slam vest. I'm not using it with the kickstand feature but really like all the pockets in all the right places and the cushion is super thick. Its a little on the heavy side and so far only used it in Florida for 3 days so I wont have a complete review till after the NY season is over but so far I like it.

Assorted diaphragm calls (Gooserbat and Hook's).  Most go in my diaphragm necklace tote, and a couple go into my vest pouch (in case they are lost from one area I have spares in the other).
2 box calls (Likely SS and Primos Heartbreaker)
2 scratch boxes (likely Lonnie Gilbert and maybe my new Duffin call) with strikers
Gobble call (which I have used both as a locator call, and a call to get birds excited or aggressive).
Owl call and hawk call (sometimes I remove these depending on where I hunt; some smaller properties a locator call is useless).


Rain gear is on if I expect rain, or I might put it in my game bag if expecting.  Headlamp is on if I need it, and left in the truck if I do not.

This year, I am going to add ant spray to see if it helps...  The red ants near the trees are awful.
