Title: Favorite all around spring turkey camo pattern?
Post by: BlakeJ on April 01, 2013, 02:39:43 PM
I hunt spring gobblers mostly in the Texas hill country but would like to know what y'all's opinions are for a camo pattern that you ban take most places in the nation to hunt turkeys in the spring?

I prefer mossy oak obsession. Works great where I am. Most everything is green by the time season comes in here.

To tell the truth ,I have no idea from day to day what I'm wearing unless I look at the label. I grab whatever is clean and hit the woods.Mix and match.

I am favorable to BottomLand here in South Alabama. I also like many others though (MO Obsession, Infinity, APG, ATACS, Nat Gear, etc...)

I only own BottomLand, but that is because that is what the wife bought me.

I like Bottomland currently. My old favorite was Shadow Leaf from Mossy Oak.

Mossy Oak Shadowleaf no doubt.

Post by: redleg06 on April 01, 2013, 08:50:01 PM
Really more concerned with comfort and price (if it's light weight material so I dont get too hot and on a clearance rack, I'll buy it) BUT my favorite is probably natural gear ll  camo.

I think just about any camo will work if you sit still.

This year I bought some cheap ivy and grape leaf bundles from the floral section at Walmart. Put some leaves on my camera tripod and on my mesh face mask. The birds haven't picked me out yet.... Called in 3 and shot 2 so far

I still use Realtree Xtra Brown above the waist. It's a good match for sitting against an oak tree. I hunt in CA and during spring turkey season the woods' floor is a riot of every shade of green. I wear pants with a Realtree Max1 pattern because it had the most green of the patterns this particular style came in. If I had my pick I'd probably take Mossy Oak Obsession.

Mossy oak forest floor, I don't think they make it any more, so I'm being careful not to wash it too much so it won't fade

Turn it inside out, wash it in cold water with Sport Wash (no scent, no UV brighteners) and they won't fade. I'm still wearing my Realtree Xtra Brown from the 90s and it hasn't faded yet.

Post by: Yoder409 on April 07, 2013, 08:28:50 PM
Absolute best for my area is the old gray Realtree Hardwoods 20/200.

AP and APG are close seconds.

All the MO patterns seem too tight and dark for the northern PA woods.

Wish Mossy Oak would listen to the hunters and bring back an updated Green Leaf.

My favorite all around is Bottomland, but I am liking Hardwoods Green too.
Depends on where I am hunting.

I am using the Elevated Forest Optifade camo that Sitka offers on their clothing line. Here in CA everything is GREEN this time of year and I really like the way that camo blends into the surroundings.  :gobble:

Title: Re: Favorite all around spring turkey camo pattern?
Post by: Tbird on April 18, 2013, 04:40:28 AM
Obession looks great in the spring woods. But my all time favorite is defiantly shadowleaf. Was at a local sporting goods store the other day and found a brand new shadowleaf button up hanging there. I couldn't believe it. Lol. Don't know where it came from but I'm glad I was the lucky one to find it!!!

I don't believe I own two pieces of camo hunting clothes/gear that match.  I have some old LW BDU uniform pants, one pair of Multi-Cam uniform pants, and several long sleeve camo t-shirts I have had for several years (Forest Floor, Infinity, and a commercial BDU copy).  That makes up my turkey hunting gear (this stuff get used for fall whitetail to when it is still too hot to wear heavier clothing).

I always wear a camo jacket of some sorts, but I have killed a pile of them wearing just dark pants that are not camouflaged.  If I can, I like to get in a spot where as soon as he can see my position, I can kill him.
