Camo headnet and leafy suit(for concealment AND mosquitoes!), and my 47-year-old Gokey snakeboots.

Never developed an interest in period clothing...my interests are with the Flintlock and associated items, and I wear normal hunting clothes & boots...flannel, wool, Thinsulate, Gore-Tex, etc

I like to see the pics of the guys in Period Clothing with their game...always makes for great photos when it's end-to-end period stuff used. But I don't own any at this time and for turkey only probably wouldn't get any (we have to wear orange for gun deer seasons). So I wear whatever I use for bowhunting that will blend in with whatever the conditions are, which for spring turkey in Minnesota can be from heavy snow to 90 degrees and everything in between. I also own a couple of pop-up blinds as I like to start and end the day stationary and "run and gun" in between. The blinds also offer some protection to hunt in the rain (or snow).

I wear total camo and head net in the spring. In the fall I wear total camo but often with one of two brown canvas upland coats. Usually, when it's cold, I add a fuzzy camo face/head cover and a blaze orange hat. One of my canvas jackets has orange panels, already.

If it's really frigid (unusual in the South) I have a heavy camo parka I'll wear. One thing is that I virtually never wear a pair of gloves regardless of temperature. They don't keep my hands warm, not even mittens. Instead I throw a couple of chemical hand warmers in my pockets and they absolutely do work.

If it's really cold and I have a little walk ahead of me carrying a folding seat - I can't get down and up from the ground without help - I may wear mittens so my hands won't freeze from holding onto the metal seat frame. The mittens come off as soon as I reach my blind.

Last year I decided to ditch camo completely. For turkey season I wore a plaid shirt, gray pants and and an old ball cap that did have some kind of dark green camo on it but looked solid. I used a brown bandanna and military glove liners one time, called in two hens to 15 yds. The next time I called anything in I had the same outfit on but without the gloves and the bandanna covering my face. Called in a hen to 10 yards, she never saw me.

When I get a PC outfit made up I will wear it.

Camo is vastly overrated, think of all the old folk who walked out the back door in their bib overalls or Carharts and killed a bird before the camo craze began.

Camo and the dearly needed danner snake boots. The places I hunt you will sooner or later need them. They have saved me some swelling 3 times over the yrs :hatsoff:

 

[Trench]

Spence, you're a role model, my friend.

 

[mtcurman]

Camo just because it's been cold here and my period clothes aren't for cold weather. But I do carry the horn, bag and knife that I made myself.

 

[Maestro]

Mostly period. I get a kick out of meeting up with other hunters if on public land - I know they want to ask about the "get up" but they act like nothing's out of the ordinary. :haha: Except for the occasional comment, "Ya know, ya can't use a rifle during the spring gobbler season!" My answer that it's an 11 gauge shotgun isn't even always believed.

I am wearing a ghillie suit. I treated it with Sawyer Permethrin so I don't worry about ticks. I can wear it over my work clothes for a quick morning hunt, take the outfit off and put it in a bag.
