Wild turkeys have excellent eyesight, so success in turkey hunting comes down to staying completely hidden, sitting still and having your shotgun ready when a gobbler finally steps into range. Here's the gear that helps with each.
1. Hide every bit of skin
Your face and hands are the first things a turkey will spot. Cover up with a head net or face paint, plus thin camo gloves that still let you work a call and the safety.
- Visa Form Head Net
- Visa Form 3/4 Camo Head Net
- Hunting Neck Gaiter, Mossy Oak Obsession
- Camo Face Paint Compact with Mirror
- Turkey Hunting Gloves
- Camo Spandex Gloves with Palm Dots
2. Get comfortable so you can sit still
A long sit against a tree is a lot easier with a seat. The Foldable Seat with Backrest gives you back support. A turkey vest or pack keeps calls, decoys and water organized: the Cut-N-Run Turkey Pack is built for run-and-gun hunting.
3. Pattern your shotgun
Every shotgun, choke and load combination patterns differently, so shoot at a target before the season to see where your pellets land at different distances.
A shooting stick like the Tom Taker Click-Stix helps you hold steady when a bird is taking its time.
4. Carry and protect your shotgun
5. Display your tom
Show off a fan and beard with the Turkey Tail Fan Mounting Kit, the EZ Mount Turkey Fan Display, or the Stackable Fan & Beard Display for multiple birds.
Seasons, blaze orange rules and hunter-education requirements vary by state. Always check your state wildlife agency's current regulations before you go.
