3. Turkey hunters use extreme camo......

No orange, no skin, full war paint, full sniper guilly stuff.

Turkeys it turns out can see colors, hear well, and have good eyesight. Or so hunters tell me.

I'm surprised this doesn't happen more, but hunters in motion are noisy enough to get told off most of the time I guess.

Never been turkey hunting, but they tell me it's hard.
