You may have found out by now that
hunting turkeys is harder than it a
ppears if you're a beginning or int
ermediate hunter. A turkey in the
wild is a hard bird to hunt and pur
sue, even with it's name. They may
have a humorous name, but the turke
y has an unexpected intelligence a
nd sharp vision. It is extraordinar
ily hard to get close to and sneak
up on a turkey and can take many ye
ars for a hunter to cultivate the s
kills it takes to perform this diff
icult task. However, with a superio
r form of cover, you can significan
tly raise your odds in turkey hunti
ng and have the upper hand. This de
creases the visibility for the turk
eys and allows the hunter to get in
 close enough to make the shot.

For the hunter out on the field, th
e most effective kind of camouflage
 out there is the ghillie suit, whi
ch was developed over 150 years ago
 in the forests of Scotland. It's
a suit that you can place over your
 regular clothes to drastically alt
er your form and dramatically lower
 your visibility to animals out in
the wild. Strands of material like
jute or burlap hang down all over t
he suit, making it hard for game t
o locate you. This blends the patte
rn and frame of the human wearer an
d makes them meld in to their envir
onment. Ghillie camo is so efficien
t that it is possible for animals t
o come right up to a wearer that is
 being perfectly quiet.

A turkey's fine sense of sight is c
onfused when human patterns are bro
ken up with the assistance of a ghi
llie suit. In order for a person to
 successfully hunt a turkey, they m
ust get in a range to have a kill
shot to impede an injured turkey fr
om scurrying off in the forests. By
 moving patiently and keeping low t
o the ground, a hunter can close th
e distance between them and a rafte
r of turkeys.

It is ideal to try and find turkeys
 at night as they are preparing to
roost. It is really hard to stalk a
 turkey. In fact, there's a good ch
ance it's already seen you if you s
pot a turkey on the field. It is c
hallenging to sneak up behind them
because they not only can see a gre
at distance but also have a broad r
ange to their vision. To keep preda
tors from sneaking up on them, a gr
oup of turkeys will face each othe
r in a circle to cover all angles o
f the field.

Staying in a single place and waiti
ng in a heavily populated turkey ar
ea can be a somewhat slow process t
hat requires a lot of time being re
ally still. And then there's the po
ssibility that before you get a cha
nce to get a good shot the group of
 cautious turkeys will spot you as
soon as you move and be on the retr
eat. It might take patience and ing
enuity, but it is possible to get w
ithin range of a gang of turkeys. W
ith a powerful gun, a ghillie suit,
 and an effective turkey call you c
an get those turkeys once and for all.
