I love the last few post ALL.

How much.. 1 & 2 along with how little.

YoooZ GuyZ  (that's like 2 Youts) inspired me a with this one. Here we are...

You can take 2 calls with you.

Your favorite gun you grew up using and name.

Favorite lead shell you shot back in the day.

Of course you'll be wearing that favorite faded bottom land green with cotton gloves and head net.

2 calls I grew up using, H.S. Strut little duece slate, and whatever mouth call Walmart had. Most likely H.S. Strut. The gun I used growing up would be my dad's mossberg 500 that he gave me, I still use it occasionally. Shells would be Winchester XX 5's

Great thread btw:

Since it's the gun I grew up with:

I'd be hunting with a Winchester 1300 Ranger 20 Gauge, with a bead. And since we just funning and it'll be like old times..I'll get some Federal Flitecontrol 5's (This is the only exception to this post of something post 1990's lol). I'll be carrying a Lynch Fool Proof Box and the H S Strut Double Slate over glass (I still use the striker for that call to this day btw). I never owned bottom land so I'll be in Trebark or Realtree Advantage (I still have my first shirt I bought from Bass Pro in the 90's and still wear it as an under shirt when I need to change my luck).

For the record I no longer own either of those calls (except the striker for the slate), I lost both in the woods somewhere...but since we keeping it back in the day...that is what I'd have.

back in the day I would have had a knight and hale model 114 push pull and a lynch fool proof that my dad gave me (still have both). Today I would pick my Scotts custom calls slate trough and a KLUK damn yankee mouth call

a woodland camo mossberg 500 he also gave me (still have, still one of my favorites)

and some 3" Remington 4x6's or Winchester xx in whatever size we had laying around

[JeffC]

Rem. 870 express 12g, Fed. high brass #6, only had 1 call Lynch world champ box.

[tracker vi]

20 ga.mag Auto 5 Smith game calls box and Federal Premium #6's.Come to think of it,that's what I'm always carrying.

[Lcmacd 58]

Ithaca model 37
Face paint .. black
Jersey gloves...fingers cut off
1 mouth call...Quaker boy
Old school camo chamois shirt
Blue jeans
And my Northeners

[Clif Owen]

JC Higgins Model 20  12 gauge
Lynch World Champion Box call..I had a Ben Lee call too
Federal Premium 2 3/4" #4's
Back then, I only had some woodland camo.

[Happy]

Calls: Ghost cut diaphragm and homemade wingbone.

Gun: Mossberg 835
Shells: 3.5 federal grand slams in #5 shot.

[Zobo]

A Browning Belgium made "Sweet 16,"
a Doug Camp poplar box call, and any 16 gauge shells I could get my hands on.

[TrackeySauresRex]

My old two. The Hawally push pin and a Quaker boy old boss hen. They still make that one too.

My old 835 W/Win 3-1/2" #4's HV Black. Nuttin' like laying one down with a big Ol load of 4's.

[Dougas]

Primos box call and a mouth call.

Mossberg 835 ulti-mag 12 gauge goose gun, double bead sight that I got as a trade for taxidermy work.

Winchester Supremes #4 and then Longbeard XR #5. Black jeans, green and brown plaid long sleeve shirt, Tie dyed green, brown and red T shirt, Black mossy oak ball cap and a woodland camo bandana over my face to cover up to my nose was what my first couple of years looked like.

That combo was just as deadly as the combo I used this spring, but far less expensive.

[Dougas]

I forgot to mention, that my first 2 kills were with 2 3/4" #8 shells. First one at 5 ft away, the other about 15 ft away.

[Yoder409]

Well..... the stuff I "grew up with", I grew out of after just a couple years.  But, my first couple years/birds I was using:

Winchester 1200 12 ga

2 3/4" Federal magnum #2's (pre-Federal Premium)

A tube call I made from a 35 mm film can, a surgical glove and some black tape.

A light cotton woodland camo 2-piece suit I got off the clearance rack at Bowhunter's Warehouse in Mt Joy, PA (there was no Tre Bark, Realtree or Mossy Oak yet)

[Tail Feathers]

The gun having to be old would by my old 28" 870, or maybe the 835 would qualify.  Winchester XX 5's worked for me back when.
The calls would be a Pat Strawser slate and New Engergy Woodhaven mouth call.
I'm down to one of my original Greenleaf Duxbak T shirts now, circa 2001.  I still have the over the head original Greenleaf cotton mask tho.
