Camo Makes the Turkey Hunter


By The Editors


Terrain-matching gear is a must to beat a longbeard's keen sight.

May 11, 2006


Mossy Oak Se III
The Super Elite III is all about comfort, with a thick 2˝-inch fold-down seat and inch-thick back padding. Twenty pockets hold all your calls and gear. ($70; 800-331-5624; mossyoakapparel.com)

Primos Gobbler
Exterior pockets tailored to hold every type of turkey call make finding the right one easy. Foam shoulder pads molded to look like tree bark protect against felt recoil. ($80; 800-523-2395; primos.com)

Advantage Max-1 Open Terrain
Combining a photorealistic mix of neutral-toned prairie grasses, brush, rock and sage, the Max-1 camouflage pattern is ideal for open Western terrains. But Eastern hunters have good reason to check it out as well. The absence of heavy, blocky shadows in the pattern makes this camo ideal for hunting sunlit cattle lots, young clear-cuts and early-season forests. Available through Bass Pro Shops. (From $25; 706-569-9101; advantage.com)

MPI Outdoors Field Track Gaiters
Think of them as extensions of your favorite ankle-high hunting boots. MPI's 18-inch-tall Field Gaiters are contour-shaped to fit snugly over your pant legs, keeping out briars, moisture and insects. Elastic bottoms stretch over any size boot and secure with a single bootlace hook. A rear zipper and upper drawstring allows for easy on and off and a secure fit once in place. Available in Realtree Hardwoods Green. ($25; 800-343-5827; mpioutdoors.com)

Mother Tech Still Hunting Light Pack
Mother's Still Hunting Light pack combines the technically advanced features of a mountaineering pack with the functionality of a turkey-hunting vest. Flip Magnet Pocket Closures allow silent access to calls and other gear, while the Slip Seat deploys with a simple tug and stows with the pull of a string. The oversize game bag has roomy pockets as well as two large compartments for toting clothing, decoys and a turkey. ($129; 253-820-8790; mothertech.net)
