What do you wear for turkey hunting if you are not using a blind?I have a rancho safari long coat but its too hot for spring hunting I think.Just want to get some ideas on some lighter clothing?

If hot I just wear same as I do for early season bowhunting...but usually in 60s for maximum and 30s for low here.....warm boots if below 45*...if above then snake boots.  Long sleeved henly style shirt with a camo vest or fleece that is quiet over it....medium weight pants and my mask and gloves.  nothing special....I just try not to get bulky for shooting my bow especially on bow arm.

Recommend shooting in clothing you decide on from sitting positions or kneeling or however you think you can remain for hours at a time.

I never wear shorts though like some do and cover themselves with camo cloth or netting....too many chiggers around here when it warms up especially sitting on pinestraw.  there are some excellent warm weather camo....just get something to break you up and that does not restrict your release of string during shot.

I like brush blinds along the edges of fields. Just use the brush there and make it fit your needs. I also always use decoys.

I was hoping to test out my 3d evolution suit from bass pro in a couple weeks but just got the word they are logging us starting wednesday. Maybe they will be gone soon
