 what brand ? ( if you know)
  is a little hunter orange ok while turkey hunting?

[Lcl 66 Tinner]

Turkeys see color so no hunters orange. I use Leafy wear II from Cabelas.

[ICEMAN]

Carry a hunter orange hat or vest in your pack for after your harvest, or if some knucklehead decides to stalk in on your decoy set...

im using some under armor with realtree camo  it has a little hunters orange on it , a small amout im sure a blind would wipe it out 

[elkinrutdrivemenuts]

My truck seems to work well.  Also jeans and a flannel shirt have worked when I have to move in for a closer shot ; )

No on the hunter orange. Other than that the best camo advice I can give you is DON'T MOVE. In 40 years turkey hunting I've found movement is a much bigger tip off to a turkey than whatever camo pattern you happen to like.

First time turkey hunting this spring. I use this for coyote hunting and think I'll try it with the turkeys.

I've got mostly Mossy Oak Breakup and RealTree APG ... I've setup in an open slope and had the tom come in over 300 yards to harvest at 10 yards ... limiting movement is the key as said above.

Best piece of advise you're going to get.  Movement is a deal breaker, unless you can do it it super slow motion.  If you have to look behind you, it might take several minutes to move your head as if it is not moving.  Just be sure of one thing, if it took 5-6 minutes to move and look behind you, don't forget to take the same amount of time getting back to your starting point.

My favorite....got to love the black in that Mossy Oak pattern.  Also have the Reatree in several flavors.  Just depends on understory, but again any camo works well....if you don't move.

awsome   suit evil !!

I pretty much have mixed matched camo aslong as it has green brown n black on it your golden just don't make a lot of movement.

[WaltAlpine]

Mix and match. whichever shirt is camo and clean. My coat is Realtree.

if its sunny or bright out dont forget the hands & face.

   :yeah:If its dark and cloudy out don't forget your hands and face! 

[baldopepper]

wacenturion hit the nail on the head-pretty much any decent camo will work, but you just can't over emphaize not moving.  Keep that in mind when you sit down to wait them out, get comfortable and give yourself the best view you can by simply moving your eyes.  Position your gun to minimize movement when the time comes, you won't always be forewarned with gobbles-more often than not they are suddenly just right there and they can be gone just as quickly as they got there if you stumble around with your gun.

Oh yea, I have gloves and a hat with full face cover, too.

[apex_predator87]

what about the red on the top of the logo on a mossy oak cap?

[Smossy]

Sounds like using a good blind is ideal.

[Dan-o]

I prefer to meander around in my street clothes and let them get good and used to me...  and then.....   BLAM!

I'm only partially kidding.   

The land I hunt turkey on has a big loop road (it's private).  The owner rides his quad around it every day and the turkeys basically ignore him.    But if you get off the quad and try to sneak around the woods......   they go into turkey-being-hunted mode.

And so my son got his first turkey.....

I avoid colors that are on gobblers heads.... Never know when an idiot sees that color, thinks turkey and shoots... Just an added precaution.

[NRA4LIFE]

I always liked a browner colored leafy pattern for pants and a grayer tree bark pattern for my jacket/cranium when sitting up against trees.

Make sure your silhouette is broken.  Oftentimes we think we are front of really good cover, and in reality you are skylined to beat the band.

  and movement are more critical than camo  pattern in my mind.

[wence5]

Mossy Oak breakup seems to work for me.

[Diehard0123]

MOSSY OAK Breakup all the way!!

[KimberRich]

Depends on where Im hunting but I really like the Realtree AP/APG for east side hunting. 

I prefer the APG in the spring because it has more green in it and blends in perfectly with new grass/leaves popping up in the spring.

[apex_predator87]

 ya know.... I seem to have taken a liking to realtree ap HD.

[Nosferatu]

I have a combination of Kryptek, Sitka and Kuiu that I use for deer & elk. I'll be using that for turkey this year as well.

It doesn't seem to matter what camo I use though as long as I sit frekain' still.

[turkeydancer]

 
Just make sure if the camo is older than you use some camo wash to refresh it as old camo can give off a bit of a white sheen to their eyesight.  I have havested birds sitting on open slopes by sitting dead still and quiet ... and they were up close and personnel ...
