Do you need camo for turkey hunting?
The first and most important piece of clothing for turkey hunting is a camouflage outfit. A good camouflage pattern should help you blend in with your surroundings and not be easily noticed by the turkey.
The best turkey hunting camo patterns mimic the colors of leaves, sticks, and other vegetation that are commonly found in turkey habitats.
Both the Summit and Solace pattern from Skre are popular camouflage patterns that work well for turkey hunting, depending on the environment you are hunting.
Build A Layering System
Base Layers
When building your turkey hunting camo, you have got to start with the right base layers for all-day comfort and protection against the elements. Your base layer needs to be breathable, lightweight, and comfortable.
Most people mistakenly think that a base layer is only meant to keep you warm when it’s cold out. If you’ve ever hunted in warmer weather, you understand that a base lawyer helps keep you cool as well by wicking away moisture and keeping you dry.
A Merino Wool base layer clothing is the best base layer for your hunting apparel. Merino Wool does a better job of wicking away moisture from the body and leaving you to feel dry- even after the material has absorbed 30% of its weight in moisture!
At SKRE, we highly recommend our Kaibab 150 Merino Wool Base Layer Top and Kaibab 150 Merino Wool Bottom.
Mid Layers
Next, we advise our customers to consider that conditions are likely to change during your hunt. Be sure your turkey hunting camo outfit includes both a light-duty hoodie and a heavy-duty jacket or vest. You’re apt to need both in a single day.
We are proud to carry the Kaibab 300 Hoodie, which is a powerhouse at maintaining core temperature and has a flexible fit to ensure you’re not restricted in movement during a hunt.
For extreme temperatures and conditions, our Hardscrabble Jacket and Vest are often used as a mid-layer.
Waterproof Outer Layers
A waterproof outer layer is essential for keeping you dry on those wet, damp days in the turkey woods. Getting gear that is both waterproof and breathable is critical to help ensure you don't get too hot or uncomfortable.
The Nebo rain jacket and rain pants offer waterproof hunting gear that are designed with the turkey hunter in mind.
Headwear
We all know that turkey's can pick out any difference in their surroundings, so don't forget about your face!
A camouflage hat or beanie not only helps to keep you warm on chilly mornings, but provides extra camouflage to help you blend in with your surroundings. Look for a hat that has a brim to help protect your face from the sun and a face mask or balaclava that can be pulled up to help hide your face when the turkey is close.
Camouflage Gloves
Camouflage gloves are also important for keeping your hands warm and protected from the elements. Look for gloves that are lightweight, breathable, and have a good grip for holding onto your hunting gear.
The Velocity merino wool glove and Deadfall gloves are quality hunting gloves that are perfect for turkey hunting.
