Gonna try this............ We'll see how far it goes before somebody turns it into a $hitshow.
Aside from your basic clothing (pants, shirt, jacket, hat, boots)...........list EVERYTHING you typically would be carrying when you're hunting spring gobblers.
As for me:
NEF 20 gauge single 4 shells (one in it and 3 in a pocket) shooting/walking stick 3-legged stool (I hang it on the gun barrel when walking) pocket clip folding knife binos on a chest harness facemask gloves small belt pack with: TP (first and foremost) 1 box call 1 slate over glass 1 striker 2 mouth calls (one in my mouth constantly and a new one in the pack) license chalk scuff pad pen 3 small zip ties (tag attachment) small Stanley tape measure spur gauge couple Zeiss lens wipes extra 2032 battery
I think that's it

Toilet Paper is THE first thing I check for!!!! ๐
"Usta" tote a vest that probably weighed 35 pounds! As I age, I've pared it down considerably!
Rem "Sportsman" 16 gauge loaded with 3 rounds. Five extra shells in each front pocket. 1 - "turkey tote". 1 - slate call w/ striker & scuff pad 1 - push/pull call 1 - home made wingbone yelper 1 - tripod* 1 - collapsible hen deke 1 - bottle of water I "usta" carry a camera. Now I include my phone and a charger. (check my avatar!) Face mask(s) Gloves
* - my "tripod" is three, 3 foot, 3/4" dowel rods. Painted and banded together on one end. Very easy to adjust for height and a place to lay your gun if the ground is wet or muddy. Works great when sitting on the ground. My vest has a sitting pad attached.

Shotgun with 3 shells in it Extra box of 5 shells in my bag 4-5 pot calls 6-8 strikers Long box Hen box Short box Box call chalk Scotchbrite pads Crow call Owl hooter Turkey totes Water and snacks Binos in a chest harness Folding saw License and tags Toilet Paper Phone
Think that's it....I carry a lot of stuff and I'm a mobile hunter too. But I like being able to throw different tones out there. All this stuff fits in my new Glenda Green satchel as well.

Get one of these----- My NEF 20 ga. wears one. I have no problem with recoil but the thumb hole helps. Extra mouth calls -- TP--- Shells-- small multi tool - chalk stores easy.
