slate, aluminum, and glass friction call with 4 different strikers. The primos "FREAK" with frictionite. 4 mouth calls. One box call. One crow call.

Had to adapt my vest a little to my own liking but have everything fitting nicely now.

Way too many..may carry 3 long box's, 4 regulars, 6 or 8 slates..30 diaphragms..locator calls..kitchen sink... I need to sew up some of the vest pockets.

To start out each morning, the calls I carry in my vest are:

Aluminum H.S. Strut Black Magic call
Harrison Game Calls Osage Orange slate call
American Friction Cut-N-Paddle box call
2-3 H.S. Strut mouth diaphragm calls
3-4 strikers for the pot calls
Primos Power Crow call

If these calls won't get the job done, then I might as well go back to the house and try again the next morning! You don't need a vest full of calls to be successful, just be proficient with the ones you have! Good luck!

I used to work for H.S. Strut and 2 of the best calls they make, that I carry, no else has listed here. Triple Glass and Double Slate over Glass, I was surprised no one listed these calls. I never go out in the woods with out them. My go to calls so to speak. Add a rosewood striker and dead turkey! The 2 mouth calls I go to are a Split VIII and a Strut Cutt, both by H.S. Strut.

Wow! You guys aren't messing around. I need to get me a box call and I think I will be set for my first season. I figure that after the spring season I will know a little bit better what I'll need. But from listening to ya'll I have only begun to scratch the surface.

When I first decided that I wanted to go turkey hunting I thought that I had most of everything that I would need at least to get started. I guess it's like every other kind of hunting, there's always something else it seems like that you need to add to your bag, or vest.

I just bought 2 new diaphragm calls this evening. I got Primos diamond cut 3 reed and a Primos Piggyback stacked frame Boss Hogg. The Boss Hogg is excellent, it is extremely clear sounding and raspy. You get a deep note and a higer scratchy sounding note at the same time. I think it will be about my main diaphragm call this year. The other one is good too, but the hogg is awesome.

sounds like if ifollow quicksiver around i can fill all my vest pockets

I carry a crow call, owl hooter and just added a Primos camp owl to the collection. I have a double sided call glass one side slate on the other made by Andy Kaiser, an ol' yeller, and HS Strut Alumiwich, 5-6 strikers 6-8 mouth calls, one box call with 2 more in the truck, spare slate in the truck... got a few more months to shop before the season, so the list will grow.

MTT you sound like you have my vest on!!I carry the same calls basically!!Usually through the course of an average days hunt I really only end up putting a couple of these calls to work!!If I have to use more I'm searching for answers!!!

I carry an HS Strut Hammerin' Crow call. 2 box calls. 3 pot and peg (HS Strut 360 slate, Knight & Hale aluminum, and Primos Power Crystal) about 10 or 12 strikers. A push button gun mount box call. A Primos gobble call. The panhandler call holder. And numerous (10-15) mouth calls. Then add chalk, sandpaper, scratch pad, etc for conditioning your calls when needed and it all adds up to a very full vest. I still have a few pockets left, so I'm on the lookout.[8D]
