Being Seen Less Not More!
Turkey Hunter's Dream!
This last fall was my first exposure to turkey hunting. Even though my hunting group gave me a token turkey, the experience was less than satisfying. However, the group told me that most newbies don’t do well the first year, it normally takes a season just to figure-out what to wear.
Camouflage is almost a must to avoid being seen. Wild turkeys seem to have such a keen eyesight. My group was decked-out from head-to-foot in camouflage, including face-mask and gloves. A mistake that I made was not to wear dark colored socks; the orange in my pro-socks stood out like a sore thumb when sitting down.
Hunting apparel is important but regardless of how well you’re camouflaged, you are still an unnatural object in a natural wood’s setting and thus not totally invisible. Your movement is so extremely important and should be kept to a minimum. Turkeys can and will detect the slightest hunter miscue. But, I’ll be ready for-em next year!

As you know, not selecting clothing carefully could ruin your day; worse, the entire trip. The products available today are unbelievable; they even have duds that will keep you cool and yet hold-in the heat at the same time.
Now, the question arises, “How do you choose the correct clothing?” This should not be an intimidating drill; but rather, a deliberate task based solely on the clothing’s intended purpose, type of activity involved in, and personal choices.
Having clothing designed from these new materials will give you more variety, comfort, and practicality. The hunting apparel today, has more meaning than in previous years because of these technological advancements.
