Here is a list of items turkey hunters will need:
- A valid hunting license and turkey tag.
- Proper clothing. Appropriate for the weather, with a camouflage pattern that matches the seasonal vegetation.
- Suitable boots for scouting mixed terrain.
- A face mask or camouflage face paint.
- Hat and gloves.
- Something comfortable to sit on--a simple pad or a small stool.
- A ground blind or screen may help hide any movement that might spook a turkey.
- Binoculars to spot roosting trees, study the terrain and plan your next move.
- A rangefinder, if you’re a bowhunter. When it comes to accuracy, knowing the distance to your target is critical.
- Turkey calls.
- Snacks and water.
- First aid kit.
- Turkey decoy(s) (optional).
- Knife and field dressing kit for your harvested bird.
- Daypack or turkey hunting vest.
