Why face and hands matter most
A gobbler that comes into view will spot the pale skin of a face or the motion of a hand on a call long before it notices a pattern. Sit against a tree wider than your shoulders, wear a mask and gloves, and get your gun up before the bird is in sight. Read 15 turkey concealment tips and the best camo for turkey hunting.
