Dressing For turkey hunting – 4 Tips That Will Lead You To Success

While many hunters may underestimate the remarkable eyesight of the turkey, this factor alone can often mean the difference between a hunting success and going home disappointed. Turkeys are a notoriously challenging bird to hunt anyway, but the hunter needs to take extra care in dressing from head to toe camouflage to give himself the best advantage on the hunt. Safety will also be key when deciding upon clothing. Standard gear will include:

1. Pants & Jacket. These are the most obvious items that will need to be camouflaged. Also be sure to adjust the weight of your clothing depending upon the season; wearing wool clothing will be a mistake in the spring turkey season, and peeling off an outer layer may alert the bird to your presence.

2. Gloves. This is another item many hunters like to invest in, especially those using a bow. Flesh tones very often can catch a bird’s eye, especially in the spring season when surroundings are green in color.

3. Hat. A hat can also be a great asset when dressing in camouflage, and can also help to keep the hunter warm, especially in the fall, or when hunting in the early morning.

4. Boots. While camouflaged boots may not be entirely necessary depending upon the time of year, boots should at least blend in a little with the natural colors of the area.

When picking the correct camouflage outerwear it will also be important to keep the seasons in mind. The spring season will often be green in color, whereas fall season will have a brown palette. A hunter should also think outside the box when considering camouflage wear, such as his weapons, undergarments, and even cigarette packs. Arrows can often come in a bright array of colors; this can be the worst option for the turkey hunter!

Another important thing to consider when picking out gear is safety. Be sure to avoid any colors that can be mistaken for a turkey, such as red, blue, or white, as these are often the colors associated with a turkey’s head. It’s also for this reason that a hunter needs to be positive that what is heard and seen can also be identified as a turkey. Many hunters mistake the flash of one of these colors, coupled with a hunter’s master turkey call as a turkey and make a fatal mistake.

With these camouflage tips in mind a hunter can ensure that he has the edge on the bird, and make sure he’s putting safety first while in the field.
