What do you take to the woods with you?
 

StruttinGobbler3was asking about a Blind. I thought what do most Turkey Hunters Take to the Woods?

BESIDES The Must Have's? TP, Tag, Gun, Shells, Calls, What else do you take?

On your person and In your Truck, Car!

This should be interesting!

I'll start off with B-Mobile and a hen Decoy.

RE: What do you take to the woods with you?
 

2 decoys, 10 diaphrams, 2 slates, 3 strikers, one owl hoot, one coyote howler, extra shells (if shotgun hunting) knife, string for tying on the tag, bottle of water and a BIG turkey vest to carry it all!!! There's probably more, but I can't think of any more!!!!

RE: What do you take to the woods with you?
 

CONFIDENCE....cause I know my birds an the area they live in!!!:D;).....

RE: What do you take to the woods with you?
 

Seems like everything I own!!!

RE: What do you take to the woods with you?
 

Everything but the kitchen sink ... :D, my turkey vest is full of diaphrams , box calls , push pins , slate , glass , friction calls , strikers ,decoys and if that wasn't enough I have a back pack filled with my lunch , water , snacks , books or magazines , toilet paperand last but very important ... my ground blind with a fold up chair.
It might sound like a bit of over kill but when your out all day from sun up to sun down and you don't want to leave the woods , well then you gotta take what you think your gonna need.

A good partner who knows how to have some fun.

RE: What do you take to the woods with you?
 

In the truck, beer, beer, and maybe one more beer. Always like to have extra to offer up if the occasion presents itself.

RE: What do you take to the woods with you?
 

I agree with RDhunter. Everything but the kitchen sink, I leave it in the truck with the 4 wheeler, chainsaw, ice chest, and about seven changes of close I NEVER use.

RE: What do you take to the woods with you?
 

on top of most of the stuff already listed ,I carry a Leatherman Wave Multi-tool ,also carry a Leatherman Vista ,it is a pruning tool . carry a gps sometimes .also carry a Rain poncho

RE: What do you take to the woods with you?
 

My running shoes!

RE: What do you take to the woods with you?
 

Besides the must haves I take B-mobile, GPS,my camera (6oz), lunch and water.

RE: What do you take to the woods with you?
 

eight diaphragm calls(most of them preston pittman calls, they're the best sounding calls i've ever used), slate call, box call, crow call, owl hooter,facemask, camo gloves,water bottle, extra shells, andsoon an avery fastbreak ground blind. i think thats about it, all of it crams nicely into a lightweight camo backpack.

RE: What do you take to the woods with you?
 

My vest full of everything for turkey hunting. The extras I have is firstaid kit, snake bite kit when Im away from my home state, extra boots,hats. I carry a couple blinds. one wrap around blind and one pop up blind. Plenty of water or pepsi, beef jerky. Cant forget my turkey seat or folding chair. That depends on what blind I will carry in. I also carry a camera and video camera...

RE: What do you take to the woods with you?
 

Uall are Pack Mule's....LoL

RE: What do you take to the woods with you?
 

I want to hunt with the guy who had the snacks...LoL:D

My Cousin and I will take Coffee, a lot of Coffee, their is nothing like a cup of Coffee on a Spring Morrning. Oh, to be young again. I didn't have the money are the stuff was not avaiable like it is today.

We use to never carry Decoys. Calls and TP and Gun and Shells.

How many you hunters like me? Starts Breaking Day Light "Mother Nature Calls" I am like a Dog when I go hunting....I Got to Go!....:D[:@][:'(]

I love the Spring, Whipperwills, Hoot Owls, Service Berry, Dog Wood, Red Bud, But best of All.... Gobble....Gobble....BOOM!

RE: What do you take to the woods with you?
 

of course a small sporting goods store's supply of calls, and now this year i will be hauling in the pretty boy and pretty girl, depending on the situation anyway. I'm gonna keep my 2 featherflex hens in my vest too, just in case it turns into a running day. facemask, gloves, THERMACELL (almost as important as my gun), extra shells, tp,I like to keep a camo poncho in my vest, b/c its easier to just drape myself in the poncho than have to put on a packable rainsuit. snacks, blind netting, some paracord, knife, SOG multitool and an orion cap light(green light)

the original poster asked about whats in the truck??? holy crap that would take days. but the basics are: extra clothes(especially socks) camera, gps,more turkey calls, my pop up blind, folding chair for the blind and a big comfy one for camp, more food, more shells, cooler (beer and water), tools, first aid kit and more tp and then a tent, sleeping bag and firewood if i'm staying the night.

RE: What do you take to the woods with you?
 

Power Crystal and lil deuce slateswith a purple heart striker and plastic flat-tipped lil deuce striker. Slik stick, enough mouth calls to choke a whale, box call if it's windy, face paint, razor sharp knifeto cutbranches for cover, peanut butter crackers (or cheese on wheats if I'm feelin "healthy"), 5 extra 3 1/2 inch federal shells, and a can of straight skoal for walkin. If you got more than that, you'll think too long and too hard on which call to use when or other stuff, and by then, he's figured you out. My philosophy, KISS - Keep It Simple Stupid.

RE: What do you take to the woods with you?
 

seems i have everythingahunter would want,but always find my self leaving the truck with only a few calls and my gun.like to run and gun to much...

RE: What do you take to the woods with you?
 

I dropped the vest and went to a butt pack. I carry 3-5 mouth calls, 2 slates and 1-2 box calls, locator calls, anti-acid, motrin, TP(Wet wipes actually), two bottles of water, shells, leatherman, a few snacks, binocs, seat, dekes, Gerber hand saw and pruners. I also carry an orange bag (newspaper cover) for the turkey's head and 2 rubber bands. I am sure there is more, but I can't think what else.

RE: What do you take to the woods with you?
 

I have one main slate, 2 strikers, 2 diaphrams, a hen decoy, extra stake, 3 shells, a granola bar, sandpaper, orange flags, small spray deet....

RE: What do you take to the woods with you?
 

The last guy on page said Pruning Shears. I was thinking those are a small Hatchett to cut small Cedars for a blind? Don't any Men drink Coffee???

Its GooooooDddd with Donuts while you are waiting for that first gobble!

RE: What do you take to the woods with you?
 

Years ago when I first started turkey hunting I took only a mouth call, a shot gun and three shells. The system worked quite well; however, now what I carry looks like a section out of Cabela's Catalog loaded on an ATV. It is amazing how many more "Things" are required to harvest a turkey these days....

RE: What do you take to the woods with you?
 

yea, but some things go without mentioning, just like I didn't mention my chewing tobacco b/c it's a given, I will have a dip and coffee before I leave the house.

RE: What do you take to the woods with you?
 

I know I carry way more than I need. Seems like I carry all this stuff in and I usually grab my "tried-and-true" calls that always get them gobbling. I do take too much...

Don't any Men drink Coffee???

At least 1 thermos goes me all the time

RE: What do you take to the woods with you?
 

Dude not everybody hunts 10 steps from there house;)

Some people actually have to walk in the woods

RE: What do you take to the woods with you?
 

Tom Kelly claims in Tenth Legion that he is the "best in the world" at spooking gobblers off the roost by deficating under thier roosting tree. I personally make sure that I bring the tp everytrip in the woods, because, like Tom Kelly I always have to go once I get a cup of coffee and a quarter mile of walking. So, TP is always in my vest.

In addition,

1.) pruners
2.) bug spray
3.) head net
4.) gloves
5.) shells/Arrow
6.) license
7.) pen
8.) crow call
9.) peacock call
10.) hawk screamer
11.) camp caller slate
12.) custom call glass
13.) personally made double glass call
14.) primos power crystal
15.) about 6 different strikers
16.) about 8 differnt mouth calls
17.) primos call care thingamabob- scrapes glass, slate, cleans striker tips, chalk.
18.) some old box call that was home-made, sounds great
19.) albuterol inhaler- asthmatic
20.) water bottle
21.) Cabela's Super Tatr Vest
22.) Gun/Bow
23.) Gate keys
24.) Blackberry- Yes, I even e-mailed my bishop while turkey hunting last year. It was great! He thought I was working[8D]

optional items:

Coffee thermos in the Jeep
Decoys, depending on the situation and plan
binoculars
blind- several kinds, again depending on the hunt
video camera- if I'm calling for someone else

Dead Turkey!!!!!!!:D

RE: What do you take to the woods with you?
 

Other than calls...

Flashlight, extra shells, some snacks, pop, binoculars

RE: What do you take to the woods with you?
 

No coffee for me just plain old water for me or maybe a pepsi as well...

RE: What do you take to the woods with you?
 

Learned the hard way about TP had to waste a perfectly good long sleeve undershirt.
I take extra rubberbands for tags and to keep box call quiet.
I also take a big trash bag to cross rivers on my way in and out, easier than carrying bulky waders.

RE: What do you take to the woods with you?
 

I take alot of water...i'm a run&gun kinda guy and i like to keep moving on them till,i know i have them...i also take 2 slate calls, 1 box call...and a Crow call.....for shock gobbling when they shutup and are comming in ...Honkers41

RE: What do you take to the woods with you?
 

My camcorder and tripod. and all the basic turkey things.

RE: What do you take to the woods with you?
 

Toilet paper.

The one time you don't bring is the time you'll wish you would have.
