So, I thought it would be fun & interesting to take some photos of how I've evolved my "get-up" for turkey hunting over the years. This journey began in 1999, and continues on today.
Hope you guys enjoy this & can relate to "humble beginnings", the various camo patterns throughout the years, & what we have available to us today! [I'm surprised I can still fit into all this stuff!

Missing is my trusty Mossberg Ulti-Mag 835 pump shotgun in *ding ding* Realtree Hardwoods camo. Wore this get-up for probably the first 2-3 years of hunting.
