Key safety reminders for wild turkey hunting
- Avoid wearing red, white or blue colors when hunting wild turkey
- Make sure any decoy or harvested turkey is fully concealed
- When choosing a spot to hunt, select a solid background that is wider than your shoulders and taller than the top of your head
- It is not safe to stalk a wild turkey. It might be another hunter calling or you might be mistaken for a wild turkey yourself
- Using a gobble call can be unsafe as other hunters may mistake you for a wild turkey
- Alert other hunters by yelling out in a loud clear voice. Do not wave or make turkey sounds
- Be sure of your target and beyond
