Shotgun camo - turkey

[Fadetoblack188]

Just wondering everyone’s thoughts on a camo shotgun for turkey hunting. How important is it?

my dedicated turkey gun is a super Nova in real tree.

I was wondering if my waterfowl - benelli super black eagle 2 in Max 4 camo would be fine as well? Or do you think the max 4 would stick out like a sore thumb in a woods scenario.

None of the birds I’ve shot with my OD green 870 ever complained.

It'll bother you a lot more than it will the turkeys

I do not think it'll matter one bit. My turkey hunting buddy and I have never used a Camo shotgun at all and we combined have killed many birds. All long as you are not moving it the turkeys won't notice it.

None of my shotguns for turkey or waterfowl have camouflage patterns.

I have used a plain black shotgun for every turkey I’ve ever shot. Same goes for multiple of my hunting buddies. Shot one with a plain black shotgun yesterday matter of fact!

I have a non camo shotgun and the turkeys walk right up to it........

Not necessary however a few cans of krylon can look cool and beat a $200 dip job.

My lady has shot two inside of 15 yards with a blued 870.

My everything shotgun is a spray painted SBE that used to be a mixture of black and rust.

It doesn't matter what color it is.

I think it's very important. I've had birds spook because of it. I find that I can get away with more last minute movement once the bird gets into shotgun range with a camo gun. YMMV

Your right I think it would bother me more. Dressed in real tree then a max 4 shotgun hahah

Ive shot 2 birds a year the last 10 years with those old side by side 10 and they don’t seem to mind it

I doubt it hurts to have a Camo shotgun

A shotgun is easy to camp, here is one I did last year for less than $20 in materials.

I don't think ive had a problem either using a black gun unless I had a dumb set up. but if your tucked back off an edge a little bit where the turkey has to be in a shooting lane to really see all of you, then your guns most likely pointing at him already and then its a smaller area then your phone he can see from his angle. my vote is its only a factor if your set up is poor, and thatll be one of those im a dumb ass moments for even thinking of setting up like that.
