RE: How many calls
Too many. Buncha diaphragms, 2 box calls, 2-3 slates + a mess of strikers, practically every type of locator call known to man, 3 pushbuttons (a pair of fighting purrs + 1), a slot call, a gobbler.
Then I mostly just use the diaphragm in my mouth!!!
(My list of other stuff I carry goes on and on. Laser rangefinder, GPS, compass, gun and shells, sometimes my Doghouse, or one of the two other portable blinds I have, decoys, fishing line, a backpack with lunch, beverages (even, at times, a thermos of coffee!!), maps, shears, fold up saw, lightweight waders, wet-wipes (for tp), extra mask, extra gloves, green LED headlamp, permission slips, webbed seat, beaded cushion, maybe a stool, and more . . . PLUS, I have a tub with other gear like a scale, tape measure, other decoys and whatever I don't take along in the woods which I keep in the back of my truck!!) I confess, I'm a gearhead!!!
