I’ve read this thread and thought to myself that some guys sure carry a bunch of stuff around to kill a turkey. In my ignorance I never dreamed that there were places with 1 week seasons or half day hunting.
Our season is 1 month each spring and fall, 3 birds in the spring and 1 in fall, shotgun in the spring and rifle in the fall. Fall archery season parallels deer archery and you can kill a couple more I think and hens are legal, October 1- December 31.
I carry a shotgun and 1 diaphragm call and a face mask in the spring with my binocular and in the fall usually just a rifle and bino. I may cover 4 miles a morning in the spring so I don’t carry any extra stuff since I’ll hopefully be toting a 20 pound bird on the way out.
