Not turkey hunting as such but most turkey hunters do a great deal to conceal themselves/their faces and even their firearms. Here is what happened today so perhaps we should change how we approach this.
I got to the farm about noon to do a variety of things. Drove down a 3/8 mile gravel land and then onto the gravel by the barn. I was about 25 feet from the end of the barn and had been there less than a minute when from around the corner of the barn came 16 turkeys. A number of jakes but 3 adult males with beards of six inches plus I would guess and visible spurs. Now I had my windows down a bit, old rock and roll playing on the radio, and no face paint or camo as I had work to do. They kind of "strolled" away after a few minutes.
Perhaps we are going about this turkey hunting all wrong.
