Field Tested Tips on Camouflage Gear

Is a Turkey Hunting Vest in Mossy Oak or Other Camoflauge Patterns a Help or a Hindrance?

Gene Chatman was serving up tips and his take about camouflage hunting clothes to consider during Spring turkey season in Texas. The camouflage gear pointers he shares apply regardless of where you are hunting turkeys of course.


Here's Chatman's take on hats. "While on those big TV hunting shows most are wearing a floppy brim hat, go with a camo cap. Hunters wearing those floppy hats must like picking 'em off the ground is all I can think. Since when I wear mine every branch I pass seems to knock it off. Camo caps just seem to stay on my head better."


"Avoid any of that single stitched cheapo camouflage gear. Whenever I got close to barbed wire wearing it, it seemed like it voluntarily ripped. As if on cue. Was the darndest thing."

Here's another good tip from Gene. "Never travel into the woods without an extra pair of camo gloves. Nothing worse than losing one and then having to sit there almost camouflaged - but not quite. If that's the best you can do might as well pack up and go home."

"I also like those camo fanny pack helps you keep all the gear in one place and easily accessible."

"But I can do without a turkey hunting vest with 20 or more pockets. How's a person supposed to remember where they put what? Maybe it's just me. But I don't care for them," Gene admitted. So put him down in the "no" column when it comes to the turkey hunting vest.

Finally don't forget the plastic. No not credit cards. Gene says, "Them black plastic bags come in handy as emergency rain gear. While gallon sized ziplocks are good for any innard organs you care to take home."

Thanks Gene. Nothing like field tested camouflage gear insights to help us all do better.
