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... :chuckle:

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. :tup:

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.
