Take a sharpie pen and blacken it out.

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....

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.   

Hey CT, I think those yellow stripes cost me a few birds.... :lol:

Nope, I would contribute those misses to perhaps other issues.  What say you?  hahaha

Gobble!

Movement will get you busted before a orange spot.

Back in the day, the old timers killed turkeys without any camo at all. ;)
