Just passing the time in the off season. I know a lot of guys have vests with all sorts of different calls, and I was that guy in the past. In the last 6-7 years I have become more of a minimalist, carrying what I can in my shirt and cargo pockets on my pants. Normally I carry some sort of slate pot, and an aluminum or glass pot in, one in each cargo pocket, 2-3 strikers in my hip pockets, and a Marlin Watkins “coaxer” in my shirt pocket. I also carry a trumpet around my neck. Every turkey I killed this year was called in with the trumpet even though I had the other calls. I’m thinking about downsizing further and going to two calls only. Just curious in your picks for shits and giggles..
I’ll start. Trumpet, either Anthony Ellis or Lee Chadwick. Slate pot: either Brad Roberts green slate over glass in cedar pot or Paul Durham red slate over glass in Osage pot. Jeff Harrison or Dustin Holtzman striker. Substitute Derrin Dawkins stoned aluminum with a weather proof striker on rainy or super humid mornings.
Please, be as specific as you’d like. I just love talking turkey calls
