TOO MUCH!!!

RE: Lose Those X-tra Lbs!!!
 

Its hard to say when it comes to calls,usually 2 box calls, a slate call, owl hooter, crow call,pruning sheers, binoculars, insect repellent,bottled water and toilet paper and Im sure Im forgeting 3 or 4 things,but this would be pretty close to whats in my vest..

Like wacker said, "TOO MUCH." It's sort of like the pack rat in me. Sure as I throw something out I'll need it.

Let's see:
turtle shell call
titanium slate
4-5 diaphrams
Wingbone call
coyote howler
crow call
water
compass
GPS
Snicker bars
toilet paper

Bound to be forgettin' somethin'. Will probably add a box call to the list this year, too.

I USUALLY TAKE A ROLL OF WILDERNESS MONEY, SOME SNICKERS BARS, A COMPASS, MATCHES, A SLATE CALL AND A POCKET KNIFE, THATS ABOUT IT.

Toilet paper,manditory.Then anything I can stuff into that vest,[calls etc] is a plus. John

Quite a bit!
Let's see...
A bunch of calls
Gun
Seat
Decoys
Water
TP
Snacks
Compass
GPS
Bug juice
Map
Knife
Multi-tool
Clippers(brush)
WHEW! I think that's about it!

I might be getting a new Browning Gold Light 10 gauge that weighs a couple pounds more than my Remington Super Mag that I used last year. I'm looking to cut down as much weight as possible. My packing list will include: t.p. (worth its weight in gold !), 3 shells, seat, candy bar, knife, crow call, slate call, mouth call, and that's it ! Last year I carried a bunch of calls and extra gear that I lugged around and never used. I should be able to dump more than the two pounds that the 10 gauge would add to my load, (if I decide to get one.) - - Pointshoot
