Camo Turkey Guns

It is important to have a dull finished gun. Doesn't have to be camo, matte black metal and synthetic stock, dull finished wood stock and matte blued/black works fine too. Camo is pretty and works very well, but as long as the finish is some muted color variation and you aren't waving it around making a lot of motion, it's all good. The high gloss stocks and bright blue finish is a very real handicap.
 
I use a black Remington 870 Express for several years and found it worked well. When I upgraded to a new Turkey gun I got the camo model that was ported. Took some of the sting from the 3.5 inch loads and goes well with the camo I wear. I don't know if it works any better, but I'm stylish.

Nice to have? Yes.
Needed? Nah.

I did pick one up this year I plan to be using.

Benelli Nova 3.5". It's taken 2 coyotes this year. Hopefully it gets a chance to shine during turkey season as well.

I use the Left Hand Super 90 Benelli 3.5 inch. The camo finish really helps when you have to move the gun when the Gobbler is coming in sight of your calling position. /ubbthreads/images/graemlins/grinning-smiley-003.gif

Like the others have said, its nice but not needed. No gloss finishes, the ones that the sun reflects brightly off.
In pre-season scouting/playin I've called birds in without any camo clothing at all just to prove a point to a friend.
Just watch your movement, plan it just right.
 
Thanks guys I really appreciate the input. I found a shotgun that I really liked and it wasn't camoflouge. This will be my first year Spring Turkey hunting, assuming work provides some time. I've been thumbing through the threads in this forum trying to learn some things.

GC those are some real nice birds. I hope I can at least get one this year.

Thanks for the pics too everyone /ubbthreads/images/graemlins/grinning-smiley-003.gif.
