Best Camo for Turkey?

A lot will depend upon when you get out and the type of year we are having. Early season when there is very little vegetation I have worn my MAX4 and as the season progresses I switch over to my Mossy Oak greens. It will also depend upon the woods you are hunting, I'm hunting hardwoods; but evergreens would mean green colours all the time. I have also started Run n' Gun'in for them, I will still set up on a field edge; but more and more I am in the bush, no blind, just natural cover, even along the edge I try to utilize what is there.

My favourite is Mossy Oak Obsession but it isn't always easy to find. No pun intended. lol! I also like Realtree APG for early season as it doesn't have as much green and would work well for fall turkey also. Another pattern I like and have used in Florida and Nebraska with success is Mossey Oak Break Up. Blends in pretty decent in most situations too.

The black can be effective for a blind but personally I wear camo when using a blind or not. The reason being is you always want a Plan B.

If your stuck in a blind and the birds have moved on you have the option to run and gun with your camo.

Good point mark... I agree with having camo on in the blind just for that reason!

Agree as well. Maybe instead of the reversible camo to blaze or camo to snow camo, they can come up with camo to black for this particular reason. Then everybody will need another situational specialty camo.

Personally, I'm learning towards a military camo. Front runner is knock-off CADPAT, followed by MARPAT, Woodland digital and Flectarn.

They've got good pattern breakup and great colour for our mixes of spring/fall deciduous and coniferous forests... an advantage if you do cramp up, or have a bird come out in an unexpected direction and you have to shift.

The mossy oak is pretty incredible... but if you twitch you're almost instantly visible.

any camo will work greens and browns and blacks will blend you in. Its all a matter of preferance in my eyes. like others said just watch how much your moving. You don't need a blind, i usually just put some brush in front of me so i could move my legs and call without been seen, and i sit against a big tree that covers my back for safety.

I have a leafy 3d suit from bass pro. But as others have said sitting still is key, camo not so much. I'm fairly certain I could smoke a bird wearing my hot pink yoga unitard.

I'll pay to watch that.

M, if your not crazy about pop ups because you like to run n gun as I do, there is an alternative out there for you.

Any waterproof camo will do it as long as you stay still. And when it comes to blind, well to me it's not necessary I like to move and seat on the ground.
