I carry 2 boxes, a slate, a crystal, 3 strikers, about 10 mouth calls, wood pecker call, crow call, and a hoot owl call even though I use my hands to hoot owl call most of the time. I carry a $4 wal mart blow up jake decoy that has been the death of many a gobbler. 2 sets of gloves, 2 masks and TP. 3 hevi mags and 2 regular federals for back up bullets. 3 hevi mags all shot in rapid succession can be expensive.

3 hevi mags all shot in rapid succession can be expensive. I've shot 3 nitros at someone else's turkey before and knocked it out of the air, got the bird but I didn't even tag it. That was in 2007. A redwing blackbird dove down at my shooters bird right at the time he pulled the trigger. Bird pitched straight up and to my left. I pulled up while he watched it fly and put three shells in it. Sucker fell in a swamp and he didn't even see it fall. We waded out there and he was DOA. I punched my tag 2 days later on that out of state hunt. Fun times!

How do you owl call with your hands? Natural voice, much louder than any call and sounds better.

How do you owl call with your hands? Cuff my hands together and blow air through a hole in between my thumbs, been doing it since I was probably 10. I sometimes just use my voice but I'm hit and miss with doing it that way.

Been there done that and at $5 a shell don't do it any more. My lead shell is a Mag Blend followed by 2 federal #5s. I tend to miss a lot as told in the miss thread earlier.

[u][/u] How do you owl call with your hands? Cuff my hands together and blow air through a hole in between my thumbs, been doing it since I was probably 10. I sometimes just use my voice but I'm hit and miss with doing it that way. Learn something new everyday. I remember when I was a kid my dad would blow thru his hands like that and whistle but I've never heard somebody making an owl call with it. I've actually been sitting here trying to do it and I can't even make a whistle. You need to sell some instructional DVD's

I wear a mask around the neck, gloves on the hands, shells in the gun.
For excess I have a bunch of mouth calls I made, a few extra shells in the pockets, and two slates in one of those promos slate call holders as well as two strikers. I also carry one of the hunt comfort fatboy seats. Its the only thing I carry thats not really needed IMO. But they are good seats.
I leave everything else in the truck, I use a decoy sometimes for midday or late evening hunts. I HATE wearing a vest. There is not one situation I have wished I had something I did not. Other than some water.
Do you want to hear him gobble, or do you want to kill him.
