Title: How Many Pots Do You Carry?
Post by: Footballer on March 16, 2015, 10:00:53 AM
How many pots do you carry when you hit the woods? I usually carry around 4 with several different strikers. The only problem I've run into is finding a good vest that will carry that many.

My vest holds two and that is what I take with me and depends on my mood on which two I bring!

Vest holds 2, and I only own 2, so it's pretty easy: a Primos power crystal and my old man's homemade slate.

I start out w maybe two or three. Each year before the season I clean out my vest. I always have at least a slate n Crystal. As the season progresses I often wind up w extra stuff which I clean out again. I love calls n the use but I don't believe in the need to carry every one every day

Really depends, some hunts I'll wear a vest others I'll take a backpack and sometimes I'll just wear my ol tom shirt that holds a few calls. Between 2-5

I've always carried two. my Crystal Mistress and either a slate or an aluminum depending on what the weather forecast looked like.  However, I bought three new pots over the winter (Hot Hen, Enticer aluminum in a Corian pot and a Bully's glass/slate two-sider) and right now I'm loving all three of them so I'll probably carry three with me this season.  Always have a half dozen or so strikers too.  Vest only has pockets for two so I'll need to improvise a bit for carrying a third.

Just 2, my new Snead's hot hen and an Enticer double glass in a corian pot and if its rainy Ill leave the hot hen in the truck. I carry several strikers and dont feel the need for anymore considering most of my calling is with a diaphragm.

Two pots with 4 strikers. A Dawkins aluminum and Paul Platz slate will make the starting lineup this weekend.

4 Dawkins Al, Hot Hen, Outlaw Hen and a Ebony Copper by Gresser. Soon to add a Twisted Sister somebody will likely get set to the side.

As far as the vest issue, look into the Ole Tom I-beam, pricey but more then worth the money for the space and comfortability factor. I usually mix and match but my main 4 are crystal, slate, aluminum, and glass with more added asiI see fit.

Glad to see I'm not the only person that carries 3+.  I always carry crystal and aluminum, then will toss slate or ceramic in a shirt pocket.  I carry a variety of 6-8 strikers, too.
