I normally hunt from blinds on my property so camo guns really. aren't necessary.

Well, although a nice job…ah…a…I would imagine a lot of traditionalist reeling and rolling in their respective graves. It is …..ah….a….ewe.. not my cup of tea. But it just might fool a turkey good luck with it.

Looks like a disadvantage if it was dropped in the brush.
To each his own!
Add a folding stock , red dot, flashlight on the forend , and bayonet lug and it would be perfect, I just don’t know what for

well, it's not something i'd do, but it's not my gun, so i don't get to say ... do what makes you happy
a lot of them were shot with a round ball while walking the idea of sitting waiting for the turkey or deer for that matter is modern
As stated: abomination.

Camo jobs on turkey guns are not all that necessary. Mine is camo'd using spray paint, but I can't say it made all that much difference over the years.
My youngest son kept his wood/blue gun as he got it and his results match mine.
In my case, I had an ugly gun to begin with.
One thing I'll say about the OP's example over mine. Those factory camo jobs get scratched up and there is nothing you can do to repair them. In my case, I just pull out the rattle cans and have at it.

So what ya'll gonna do when the turkey's start wearing their own camo?
I got to thinking (no, it didn't hurt, just stung a little); out west here all we have are scrawny turkeys and their numbers have been so low we often don't even get a season.
But all the videos I have seen of them eastern turkeys chasing and attacking mail and package delivery workers, perhaps they should change their strategies:
Arm the delivery workers with a replica (non shooting of course) authentic muzzleloader with shiny barrels then they would only need step out of their truck, the turkeys will see that shiny barrel and scream "GUN!" and they'd all high tail it back into the woods!
Or maybe deck the delivery workers in full camouflage with battle subdued patches (don't want customers thinking they are Feds) and camouflage paint the trucks too; now they can deliver the mail/packages without the turkeys even seeing them.
Now, while on the topic; maybe all you camo hunters need to rethink your strategy as well.
Instead of all that Woodland and such camo, you should dress in blue (USPS) or brown (UPS) uniforms and carry your kit in a large bag over your shoulder....oh, I think matching color breeches would help too.
Now this way you can just casually walk through the woods, the turkeys see you and ATTACK!
And I am pretty sure a USPS or UPS costume at your local Halloween shop would be cheaper then an entire Woodland get up from your local sporting goods store....just a thought (now my brain needs a serious rest)

The only rifle I ever camouflaged, was wearing the same camp paint that I was. And we both worked for Uncle Sam at the time!
