Frequently Asked Questions
Are Turkeys Hard to Hunt?
Turkey hunting can be a challenging yet rewarding experience. Turkeys are known for their keen senses, especially their sharp eyesight, making them difficult to approach. This is where the effectiveness of SITKA Gear comes into play. Our gear is designed to blend seamlessly into the turkey woods or fields, providing the stealth needed for a successful turkey hunt. Additionally, using a turkey call effectively can greatly increase your chances of attracting a turkey. It's a skill that requires practice, but when mastered, can be incredibly effective.
What Do Most People Hunt Turkey With?
Most turkey hunters prefer using shotguns or bows, with bowhunting turkeys growing in popularity. The choice often depends on personal preference and the challenge they're looking for. For those using shotguns, a good turkey decoy can be invaluable in luring the bird into range. For bow hunters, having the right turkey hunting accessories, including a reliable bow and appropriate arrows, is crucial for a successful hunt.
Do You Really Need Camo for Turkey Hunting?
Absolutely! Camouflage plays a vital role in turkey hunting. Turkeys have exceptionally good vision, making it essential to blend into your surroundings. SITKA Gear offers specialized camo patterns that are perfect for turkey season, helping you stay undetected whether you're in the woods or a field. Remember, it's not just about the camo clothing; consider camouflaging your gear, face, and hands as well.
Should I Hunt Turkey in Woods or Field?
Both woods and fields can be productive for turkey hunting, and each offers a unique experience. In the turkey woods, hunters can use the terrain and foliage to their advantage, staying hidden while calling or using a decoy. Fields, on the other hand, often provide clear visibility and can be excellent places to set up a decoy spread, especially during the early morning or late afternoon when turkeys are feeding. The choice often comes down to personal preference and where you're most likely to find wild turkey activity.
Is 20-gauge or 12-gauge Best for Turkey Hunting?
Both gauges can be effective for turkey hunting, depending on your specific needs and preferences. If you prioritize lighter weight and are using TSS loads, a 20-gauge might be ideal. For those who prefer more flexibility in shell selection or anticipate longer shots, a 12-gauge could be better suited. Ultimately, the best choice depends on your hunting style and the specific gun/choke/load combination you use.
