3) Camouflaged
clothing — I’ve
watched turkeys
easing through
the woods while
sitting an elevated
deer stand only
to see one of the
birds’ head pop up,
look straight at me
for a split second
and take off run-
ning while sound-
ing the alarm to its
flockmates.
Invariably, I find
that a small bit of
my hunter-orange
vest was hanging
out of my pocket.
Turkey’s see color,
folks. And they
don’t stick around
to second-guess
what that strange color means. So full camouflage is even more
important when turkey hunting than when deer hunting.
“You can use what you already own for deer hunting, but youneed to have everything camouflaged, including hands and
face,” Loupe said. “Since turkey season in Louisiana begins
in March and ends in April, the woods and temperatures will
change significantly during that time, and many hunters like to
match their camo with their surroundings, be they early season
grays and browns or late-season greens.”4) Decoys — Sure, some gobblers will come straight on in to
a calling hunter, but those are usually the young, inexperienced
birds. Old veterans, however, can often hang up out of range —
and decoys can be the one thing that convinces these toms to
close the distance.field notes
