What type of hat do you hunt in?
« on: November 16, 2020, 11:20:04 AM »
Couple of questions regarding hats that you turkey hunt in.. Would you rather hunt in a solid hat or mesh back hat? Have you ever tried one of the stretch fit hats? Do you change camo patterns as spring progresses or do you just stick with one hat all season?


Thanks!

One hat all year unless I cannot find it when I go to leave. Adjustable and mesh back. No white/bright lettering or symbols.

My head gets hot easy so I always wear a mesh backed hat. 

I generally stick with the same (lucky) hat all year long. 

As long as there aren't any unnatural or red/white/blue on it, then you're good.

Mesh back on warm days and every day later in the season. Wear a North Mountain leafy pull over with a hood, so hat pattern really doesn't matter that much after pulling the hood on when I set up.

I have a couple of boonie style bucket hats that I wear. One`s in Realtree Xtra and is water proof. The other is a bit darker Mossy Oak camo pattern. i`m as likely to wear one as the other.

I am partial to the Flex-fit style when I can find them. They look and feel like solid covered Baseball style fitted hats. Got them in Obsession, Bottomland, and Max everything, so I'm good with whatever. I wear facemasks and liner gloves no matter what I'm after.

Boonie hat with a face covering sewn in.  That way it's one less thing I have to keep track of and probably lose.

Several years ago I bought a Southern Belle Box call from a Cody booth at the Harrisburg PA hunting show. Bill Zearing gave me an autographed hat that is my lucky turkey headgear. I will not go in the turkey woods without it. The pin on the back holds up my Nomad face mask nicely. Be safe, thanks

Boonie hat if in a blind or in the woods. Blocks glare on the glasses.
