I carry two water bottles, two pot calls, one box call, soon one scratch box, 5 turkey rounds, 10 dead coyote rounds (gives me a feeling of control for any WA predator with DC), TP, chalk, sand paper, scotch brite, Leatherman tool, couple of energy bars, compass, safety orange square to add on bird for carry out and 6 strikers. Must have more stuff but I can not remember what they are. Interesting post, was done on another forum and I learned a lot from things I would never have thought of.

All of those calls, pots, strikers, box calls and only 3 rounds? Nice assortment of calling devices you have there.

Thats a lot of sricker yelp. I'll have to pull mine apart
Yep..Every striker has a different tone..meaning different sounding hen. If you add up all of the sound combos I have with those pot calls and strikers...I am set up! I have a few that I lost apparently.. :bash: I need to go buy a few more now! :).. Actually I have a new tradition when hunting with someone new..I trade strikers..with them after the hunt.

I see you like those big long box calls too. I did not see a pruning saw. How many decoys do you carry. I carry two hens and a jake.
Do you process the bird just after you have shot it? Back in the 60's I was sent out to the back yard with a tea kettle of hot water.
Chopped the head off a chicken in the yard, poured water, plucked and processed in less than 10 minutes. The thing I did like is that my family only had one recipe and that called for boiling the chicken, never frying or baking or roasting.

Yelp,
I see you like those big long box calls too. I did not see a pruning saw. How many decoys do you carry. I carry two hens and a jake.

I have a pruning saw but rarely use it. I used to carry just one or two decoys..now I carry my one stuffer decoy....I just mounted up a new one..waiting on her to dry!
Anyways I also try and clean the birds and remove crop as fast as I can usually within the hour I kill it and then I put ice in the cavity in a ziploc to cool it down. When I get a chance then I skin it and finish processing it.

I have always plucked turkeys. Is there something I should do before skinning?
