I have been kicking around the idea of putting together an essentials pack for a youth hunter or new hunter trying to get started for some time. I spent some time going through extra gear I have a put together a basic chest pack kit that minus a can of bug spray/thermacell and a shotgun/shells could get someone going. This is not the highest end gear available but the calls flat out work and with some practice and time in the woods I have no doubts someone could put meat on the table with it. I am from Florida and while I would like to shake the persons hand I give it to, I haven't ran into many hunters here or in Georgia that I would call newbies (most have plenty of gear). That brings me here, if you guys know anyone in need or there is someone on this site that could use it, please PM me and I will decide later this week who to ship it out to!
The kit
-hs strut chest pack
- camo mask and gloves
-chalk,conditioning stick, scotch brite
-2 primos mouth calls (unused of course)
- 1 primos box call
-ozark bottoms 3 1/2" Purple Heart pot black anodized aluminum with matching striker
-spring creek turkey calls scratch box (hickory I believe and the striker is yellow heart. I love these little calls)
-primos power crow (I've had this one since I was a kid)
-primos hoot flute (imo the easiest owl hooter for someone just starting out)
I'll even throw in one 2025 OG gobbler patch
Even if I don't get to meet the person it goes to, I will gladly help them out via phone, text or online resources if they need to learn how to use any of it.
Solid Offer!
Nephew (22 years old) just started with me this year, and it gets right pricey quick, and this will be a huge help to someone!
Thank you for helping out with the new hunter pack. I believe in giving back or paying it forward. More people should do this, not just turkey hunters. Z
Awesome gesture
Thank you
Great gesture!!!
Very generous offer and a great way to pay it forward.

I keep hoping so, I actually haven't received any messages about it so far. I thought someone would jump on it pretty quick
I think most of us know someone who could use it. I have 3 boys who are coming up in age to use this, but I am fortunate enough to have the means to set them up. I couldn't in good conscience take this for my kids, knowing someone out there needs it more than me. I sure hope someone deserving of this blessing comes along. OP, Thank you for doing this.

Thank you, I've been blessed with the same and being part of a family that passed this lifestyle down to me along with gear that got me started early on. One of my sons actually added the box call to the kit from his own calls which I thought was awesome. I don't envy new hunters getting into the sport today because the cost is higher all the way around
I have faith it will end up in the right hands!
Bump, added a few more things to it that I have found while going through more gear
Primos hawk call
