Never really weighed mine but it has 4 slate calls 5 strikers 3 mouthcalls a boxcall a gobbler shaker 1 decoy inflatable a push pull call a owl hooter and a crow call and some extra shells,water ,face mask, gloves. I think that's all and sometimes it can be about 20 some more pounds heavier.lol

I would probably guess from about 8-10 lbs.....

Deer see you and think you are a stump. The Old Gobbler sees a stump and thinks it is YOU!

Too much! :TooFunny:
Mine too.  This year, I really trimmed the load and just went with a fanny pack.  Worked great.

Zero, I use a mid sized back pack with very little in it, really it's just for a couple of calls and a thermos full of coffee and a fibre one bar. I like traveling light
about the best religion can possibly do, is maybe make you a nice person, where as a relationship with Jesus Christ can make you a new creation

zero.... fanny pack and/or cargo pockets. Prefer to pack light. didn't even carry a slate call this year, only tube, mouth and wingbone call

not bad walking in, but its usually 20-some pounds heavier on the trek back to the truck. (well, sometimes) ;D
piqued my curiosity so i went out and weighed it - 5 pounds exactly. surprised me; i figured it would weigh more.
i used to carry way too much stuff, so when i needed a new vest a couple years ago i got an ol tom time and motion vest. great gear specific pocket design.
i now pack 3 pots w/3 strikers for each, a box, gobble shaker, tube call, mouth call pouch with 4 diaphragms, call conditioners, chalk, 3 xtra shells, pocket knife, mini snippers, small binos, xtra facemask and gloves, turkey tote, shop rag paper towel and mushroom sack.
and i thought i traveled light  ::)
