Yes, you need full camo...

head to toe.

Turkeys don't have an acute sense of smell, like deer.

Their hearing is pretty good.

But their eye sight is extremely good.

Having a different pattern of camo on your shotgun is not a problem.

Be very still. Don't blink! Sit with your back up against some kind of natural background that breaks up your outline - tree, bush, etc.

Xtra full choke, #5 shot, use whatever length of shell patterns best in your gun. Often the 2 3/4 inch shell does as good or better than the longer shells. The only way to find out which works best for you is to pattern them in your gun.

Good luck - have fun, be safe.

P.S. Don't forget camo gloves and face.
