Just a question to help pass the time until April. What is your favorite spring camo pattern? I know It all depends on what type of area you hunt but I am becoming very fond of mossy oak bottomland! :grin:
 
I have a variety to mix and match shirts with pants..... most of the time I'm wearing a leafy suit so it doesn't matter.

In fall and winter I like optifade or mossy oak tree stand


For turkeys I tend to use anything with light greens and yellows like MO obsession. Bottomland is cool as well.

I don't want anything dark in the spring and I wear a 3d suit 90% of the time and it's mo obsession.
 
harvester said it... sit still. Doesn't matter what color or pattern, if you move, you're busted. If you are still, they probably won't care what shade of camo or type of leaves you are, they think you are a stump

Leafy suit, color doesn't matter much to me. Realtree, MossyOak, just whatever. REMEMBER TO SIT STILL.

Agree.

But, imo, the best camo pattern you can wear turkey hunting is a "mixture". Wear a different camo pattern on your top vs. your bottom. But the main thing will always be a lack of movement that is hiding you. And if you're behind something where a turkey can't see your pants (such as in a blind), then blue jeans become as good a pattern as any. In fact, in some pop-up blinds, a black shirt may be the best camo.
 
I remember being told once when a deer sees a man setting in the woods he thinks it is a stump. When a turkey sees a stump he don't think till he has run two miles. The best thing I have found is break up the human fourm.

Wow, you are learning for a relative novice :) !

Two years ago I was trying to pry a gobbler from his hens about 100 yds out in a field.

I got the hens fired up, and about a dozen came to the fence line, 8 steps in front of me. I was just leaning against a big tree. I actually squinted my eyes for fear of their seeing me. They were searching for the hussy making the racket.

They soon eased back out, so I started again.

This time the jakes came to the fence line and did the same thing. All this time, the gobbler was SLOWLY drifting closer.

Finally, the jakes eased off, and the third set of nasty talk got the big boy in range.

Most any camo pattern will work, as long as you are still.
 
I couldn't tell ya what any camo is or what kinda camo i have. I most likely wear what ever I run across first in my huntin gear box. I do make sure I have my facemask, though I couldn't tell ya what camo it is either. And my turkey vest is probably older than some of you and it is the ol' 3-4 color old school camo pattern.
