You young'uns need to get in better shape and tuff'in up! I'm 62 years old and on the hunt I tagged out this year, a mapping gps program said straight line I walked 2000 yards to where I hunted. I carried in one AvianX hen and my Jake. My gobbler lounger and my Browning Silver that is primarily my goose gun with long barrel. On the way back to the truck, I was happy to be carrying a 20+ pound turkey.
When I'm ambitious, I also take my ground blind, shooting stick and another AvianX hen. And my vest and enough food for the day. Never had to make two trips yet. That's for deer season when I need to go back for my deer cart.   :lol:

Nothing like having everything, you need and the ability to carry it all. I think it's great you can do all of this at your age..Good hunting..

+1. However, when hunting the club back home, I highly doubt you'd want to carry all that stuff for an 8 mile round trip hike. Heck, I wouldn't want all of it strapped down on an atv for that matter.

I second the motion to give them away.  That is where all of my "old equipment" goes.  I find a friend in need and pass it along.

You could "gift" them to silvestris & Ihuntoldschool??

I'd give em all away.  I run n gun about 99.9% of the time and mobility is a must for me.  Besides I've had more of the weary Eastern in my neck of the woods spook and get real nervous at the sight of motionless decoys.  I much prefer hunting without em.  Setup is everything!!

I'm still waiting for a pop-up blind company to make one that looks like a hen on the outside with the addition of a head, something like the magnum waterfowl decoys, but allowing the hunter to sit inside awaiting the unsuspecting gobbler. (Now don't get all riled up about it being unsafe since a turkey of this size would be the size of a small car...and it's a hen!)
