Best Camo for Turkey?
I'm getting ready to buy my first full matched kit of turkey hunting camo. So far i've just used a hodge podge of whatever is lying around from deer hunting parkas and shirts & pants i grab on sales.
What are you folks all using? What do you believe gets the best results? Anyone heard of new specialized camos designed only for turkey eyesight?

I use a US Army poncho a lot when I'm on a tree line. I can throw it over and then sit underneath and work my calls etc with no motion visible.
But yes, blacks sweats and a face net in a pop-up and your good to go !!

Best camo is absolutly no movement

I agree with everything the other guys have said but if its a shopping spree you are after I like the mossy oak obsession pattern. Alot of bright greens in there that fit into the spring landscape. Thanks for stimulating the economy.

Use a blind and wear whatever you want. I've taken a number of new hunters/non hunters out and the blind helps conceal movement. Another bonus is that you can go out when it's raining.

My bro and I are having success (and tons of fun) with run'n'gun earlier in the season. We go out rain or shine, and just take peg sheet blinds for speed of set up and mobility.
Carrying a big popup is a drag.
We have tried sitting and waiting in blinds, in areas we know the birds come regularly... but that method only gets us a shooting opportunity 2 or 3 times a week.
The run 'n' gun gets us some action every day.

Realtree Xtra Green is a great choice for mid/late spring once the vegetation starts to green up...
