Default Coyote calling gear

What's your favorite coyote calling gear( what do you take with you? How do you haul it?)

I'm always looking for new/better ideas for calling set ups. Must haves for me...
Seat/ w back rest
Sticks
Calls often ecaller and decoy
Drag

I cannot stand walking/hiking w things in hand so I always have a pack of some sort. Consolidating down to a seat/ pack system is usually the best.
Currently I use a red head turkey vest w build in seat. But it generally allows me to take too much stuff lol.. I like the huge bag in rear for hauling in my full size coyote decoy when I want it..
My other go to is an alpz predator. With kick stand seat.
I sometimes use a gunrunner11 but then have to pack an extra seat of some sort..

What are you guys using?

Personally I don't use a seat or pack to avoid carying extra crap but when the Mrs comes along we use a seat identical to the lucky duck predator seat. e call goes in the back pocket. Then handcalls on a lanyard, bipod on the gun, rangefinder and paracord drag in pockets of my ghillie jacket or Kings camo pants.
Personally I don't like large seats as I want to be as close to the ground as possible while still maintaining a good view.
I limit myself to what I can cary in pockets or hand so that I don't spend large amounts of time fiddling with all my junk which I feel causes coyotes to see me. Get in get and out fast and efficient.

Went calling the other day with my wife. Did a half mile on snowshoes with my heavy winter camo on. By the time I got back to the vehicle I was soaked.

I usually just put my fox pro in my coat pockets, hand calls around my neck, carry my trigger sticks and a cushion with a back that I put up against a tree. I’ve been packing a shotgun and 22-250 and it’s just too much.

I've got one of those low profile folding chairs, it's okay along with a seat pad.
The main thing in the pack is a white polar fleece poncho, plus neck warmer, balaclava.
The rifle scope camera mount is a 1" Adel electrical clamp.


FoxPro Crossfire. I take FoxPro calls download onto computer then rename with 3 digit numbering system, so all calls are grouped together.


Simple stuff. Tail stripper is diy. $6 paring knife.


Side 2 of my call sheet.

This is essentially my kit. Rifle and bipod. Shotgun. My “pack” is basically a Fanny pack with shoulder straps. Hand calls around the neck. Drag ropes can just clip onto the pack as needed. Maybe 5 extra rifle rounds. Always keep another 3 for the shotty in my pocket. E-caller with decoy, auxiliary speaker and one Montana decoy all fit in nicely. I keep my remote in an inner coat pocket while I’m mobile. I generally just sit on the pack during a set. Keeps most of the snow off my butt. It’s a bit of a pain packing two guns but the shotty is invaluable when you’ve got fast movers in close.
