Home Forums Hunting & Shooting Bowhunting Turkey hunting/carrying dekes, gear, chair

Here is what I do. Works great for me. I've tried everything under the sun. Here is a Magnus rack pack/combo chair and back pack. Expensive, but worth EVERY penny imo. The pack has load lifters, adjustable waist belt, adjustable shoulder straps, and is basically setup like a cargo hauler for carrying big game loads of out of the mountains with. Here is my setup, all rigged and ready to rock.
Items on the pack:
2 cargo motorcycle nets
1 Double bull Matrix
1 DSD upright hen
1 DSD feeder hen
1 DSD Jake
1 DSD Strutter
1 real fan/2 wing tips protected in cardboard sleeve
4 DSD stakes


I forgot to add, that The two hens and their carry bags fit into the Jake bag. Bag on top is the strutter with fan/wing tips cardboard protector. Bottom bag seen is the 3 other dekes and their bags with stakes for all 4 dekes.
Total weight for entire package is 45#. I used to lug a feathered pretty boy, so this is much easier now, as I don't have to protect it's feathers. My hands are free, except for my bow. If I want, I can put my bow under one of the nets.





Pack converts into a chair. The best blind chair I have ever used, I might add.

Nice .Wish you a fantastic interesting exciting hunting journey.

Good god thats a lot of chit. I like to hunt light and fast! Good luck Turkey season is right around the corner.

More power to you! I thought I took a lot of stuff. Thanks for making me feel better.

You are kidding, right?

I guess you have everything but you sleeping bag

Do you carry your cooler in the right or left hand?

What if you kill something?

Not likely, he forgot a weapon and a call.

damn thats a lot of stuff to lug around.good luck and happy hunting this season

Sounds like your hunting area is like mine, you have to get it all in and set up in one spot only. I don't have the option of running and gunning, so I lug about the same amount in and out. I use an Ameristep Tom Taker with the mesh bag in the top for the decoys, but mine collapse. I wear a turkey vest for all of the small gear/calls and shove a small folding chair in the main bag. Good luck with your season.

Bowhunting turkeys takes a lot of gear. I'm assuming the rest of you guys simply carry your bow and call just like you would if you were shotgunning??

I take two Dave Smith Decoys a hen and a jake, my bow, and calls. What more do I need? Because it sure as hell has been working for me.
