I have a under armor hat that I use for bowhunting but it has a orange under armor logo on the front. I just want to know if I can use that with that much orange on it or if I should get a new one without any orange. And what do you all prefer Mossy Oak or Realtree?
I have wore hats like that and never had a problem with birds seeing it now i ain't saying they cant....I like mossy oak

the camo you wear is your preference i prefer mossy oak :) lol as far as the orange i have the same hat your talking about and have never had an issue getting busted with it on don't think you would have a problem if you stay still!
When in doubt swap it out.
Take a sharpie pen and blacken it out.

I have been picked off by a logo on a hat before. I saw the bird look directly at it and take off. It was a hen and she was probably 20 yds away. I will never chance it again.
I don't think the orange is a problem. Lots of turkeys were killed before there was camo. Which pattern you wear is just a matter of choice.

My thoughts exactly!! Walmart sells them cheap!! This is where I get most of my turkey hunting hats since the mountains typically make me sweat like a pig when I'm having to climb up and down them....so I don't mind to destroy the hat in one season then get another before next season. Just an idea!
God Bless
I wouldn't sweat it, but if it bothers you....pull your face mask up and turn that hat around backwards when you set up on a bird. :icon_thumright:
You're good, I'd be concerned if it's reflective or shinny. I get guff every year for wearing my big green rubber boots with the bright yellow stripe around the top.... you know which ones.
Got a lot of photos of dead toms.....I got my rubber boots on! I always figure....they're dead before they see that yellow stripe.
Good luck, be safe and have fun.
Mossy oak and the orange lettering would probably disappear if it were me.
I have had turkeys walk right up to me with all orange sweatshirt on, it,s not the Orange its movement. My cousin wears a lot more orange then I do and kills turkeys every year.
Yes, the movement will get you busted quicker than anything. I've had them roost in the same tree I'm deer hunting out of covered in orange.

I did the same with a browning backpack my inlaws gave me for Christmas a few yrs ago. was camo with yellow trim and logos (I think "piping" is the word for it). I seriously doubt it was enough to spook anything but it just didn't "fit". I took a sharpie to it, intending to black it out. The sharpie ink mixed with the yellow actually made anything that was yellow turn dark green. And it looks awesome now - should've been that color from the factory.

Did the same thing to the yellow logo on my Cabela's turkey vest. Turned the yellow to a nice olive green looking color that blended well with the vest. I'm paranoid about stuff like that when it comes to turkey hunting.
As long as your still, I don't think it would matter. As for the camo pattern, I wear what ever is clean.
With both of these things, it a matter of personal opinion. If removing the logo, wearing a different hat, or keeping matching camo, whatever makes you feel more confident on opening day is what I would go with. Good luck this spring....

Nope, I would contribute those misses to perhaps other issues. What say you? hahaha
Movement will get you busted before a orange spot.
Back in the day, the old timers killed turkeys without any camo at all. ;)
