Passing it on.  I got a new set of Ol Tom Bottomland big enough to slip over my work clothes. :newmascot:

Remember there have been 1000s of turkeys killed by old men in denim overalls. the key is being very still.

We have a winner. Turkeys key on movement and you can kill a gobbler in your bath robe if you can hold still. They were whackin' gobs long before camo was invented. Every now and then I'll pull some 20 year old faded camo out of my closet and tag a tom in it just to prove this point to myself. By the way, 20 years would be right in the ball park of that Kelly Cooper Tru-Leaf you're wearin'.  ;)

Even though I'm very conscious about matching my camo to the area I'll be hunting it's movement that will give you away more than anything. With faded or camo that's not right for the area I'm hunting I'd setup in some place in the shadow of a tree or anyplace out of direct sunlight. Be prepared when that gobbler shows his head and you'll do fine.
If I had a dollar for every gobbler I thought I fooled I'd be well off!
