As we transition from winter, keep in mind that spring is right around the corner and with it comes one of our most highly anticipated times of the entire year: spring turkey season. Here are a few key tips for success with that big tom gobbler this year.
Camouflaging your hands is critical for success with sharp-eyed spring birds, but it’s even more important to maintain a solid grip on your equipment while easily and safely operating the trigger or arrow release. Having the right gear is a key part of any successful hunt.
Start the season with the Sneaky Pete, for those mild conditions where concealment and dexterity are key factors. This half-finger glove has a second skin fit for precise control, with a synthetic leather palm for hand protection. This available in one of the best camouflage patterns in the world—Mossy Oak Bottomland—as well as Marsh Camo.
And when you need a functional base layer for versatility to beat the cold in changing conditions or the day calls for a lightweight concealment option, Monkey Hands is your glove. This one has second skin fit and brushed interior finish for added warmth to work well as a base glove and non-slip silicone palms for superior grip when worn on its own. There are slit openings in the index finger and thumb for added dexterity when you need it the most. And it’s also available in Mossy Oak Bottomland as well as Marsh Camo and standard black.
For those who prefer to customize their gloves and gear, there’s the Freestyle Hunt Glove. This one is specially designed to allow you to remove any of the fingertips you want without having the glove fray and unravel. It has a synthetic leather palm for outstanding grip, a touchscreen-sensitive index fingertip and it’s available in three camo patterns including Mossy Oak Bottomland.
Especially critical for spring turkeys, don’t forget about face coverage. Hunt Monkey has the ultimate lightweight head and face concealment piece with the Conceal Lightweight Face Guard. This one features a featherweight, breathable fabric with a design which greatly reduces fogging your glasses. The full head and face covering design offers excellent concealment along with the added deterrent from pesky insects invading your ears, nose and back of the neck—the “fidget factor” goes way down, and just like the gloves, it’s also in Mossy Oak Bottomland.
And don’t neglect your feet, either. Spring turkeys can also mean long hours in boots, whether you’re hiking into an area, actively stalking a bird or waiting quietly in a ground blind or hide site. The crew length Lightweight Boot Cut Sock is Hunt Monkey’s premier line of lightweight, moisture wicking, premium cushioned, merino wool performance hunting socks. They feature ventilation panels to actively wick moisture away from your feet as well as arch and ankle compression support and a premium cushioned footbed. A seamless toe prevents chafing. This is the perfect weight for mild weather early season hunts and are best paired with light to medium weight hunting boots or snake boots. For those who prefer an Over the Calf style for additional warmth and protection, Hunt Monkey has you covered as well. The Lightweight Over the Calf Sock has all those same features as the crew length, just in a longer style which is perfect for wearing with snake boots. Thes are also best when paired with waders, light or medium leather boots or rubber muck boots.
