Spring Turkey Season in Texas
Stalkin' Turkeys Wearing Camouflage Hunting Clothes
Gene Chatman lived for the spring-time gobbler hunt in Southern Texas. It was a chance to get out of that small space he called an office that he used as a command center for his carpet cleaning business. To get into the early morning stillness, back against a live oak, calling them in.|

Generally when hunting turkeys, whether during Spring turkey season in Texas, off on Florida turkey hunts or setting up in any state in turkey country in search of trophy toms, camouflage is vital to your success as a hunter. "When you talk cammo for turkeys you can be sure hunters mean head-to-toe coverage - including a head net and gloves," Chapman advised. "Don't let the glint of your Timex warn off an approaching tom either." |
"Then too the gloves and head net serve a second purpose. Protect you from hungry skeeters, gnats and other annoying bugs."
"Another thing? Look for camo that is soft to the touch and isn't shiny or light reflecting," he added.
"When it comes to boots make sure the soles are not some light color," Gene pointed out. "That telegraphs your location regardless of how much cammo you're wearing when you're sitting with your back to a tree somewheres during Spring turkey season in Texas."
Gene's got some more bright ideas on camo for hunters too. Like his take on a turkey hunting vest that I'm sure you won't want to miss.
