Primos Gobbler

to hold every type of turkey call make finding the right one easy. Foam shoulder pads molded to look like tree bark protect against

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;
