Hunting Camouflage Shotguns

Do I really need to have a camouflage shotgun for turkey hunting?

I personally feel the camouflage shotguns look pretty silly. But, I guess I am a bit of a traditionalist.

Many years ago, when I was young and dumb, I used to go turkey hunting in full camouflage. I dunno, maybe I just wanted to look like “Rambo” or something. Nowadays, when I go turkey hunting, I wear traditional upland game hunting outfits (tan and orange barn coat) and it includes plenty of flourecent orange.

The thing with turkeys is that they DO have keen eyesight. But, what spooks them is movement. I’ve had turkeys walk up to within 10 feet of me (out of season) and look me in the eye. They could tell that something was out of place, but did not know that I was a human sitting at the base of a tree. They could obviously see my flourecent orange clothing, but again, as long as I stayed still, they didn’t run.

On the other hand, I have spotted turkeys in a field some 200 yards away when I was sitting in my truck. The moment I opened the door to get out, they flew away.

In summary. Don’t worry about camouflage guns or even camouflage clothing. If you want to hunt turkeys, the key is to stay very still, or try to hunt from behind a blind where they can not detect your movments.
