I start off with a camo ball cap,
after filling a tag or 2 and the the pressure is off I switch to a Jamaican bonnet with the dread locks.

The dreads really help to break up your outline

I did the "lucky hat" thing for several years. It was a roll-up, brimmed, in an old woodland pattern. Eventually I bought newer ones, but would pull out the old one when the hunting got tough. Sometimes the luck came with it, sometimes not. I believe I still have it, but haven't worn it for probably 20 years.

Now I wear baseball style caps, and prefer all mesh construction for hot weather, which are sometimes hard to find. I have several, a couple with the lights in the bill, which are extremely handy. Most I purchased on clearance, so camo pattern is of little concern to me. I now consider whatever one I happen to have on that day to be my lucky one.

Wear what you like but if it doesn't have a bill you'll regret it the first time the sun is in your eyes.

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

Same here, but I use the baseball-type cap with the sewn-in facemask.  The facemask is always "there" and attached so I won't lose it,...and all I have to do is pull it down from out of the cap when the time comes where it is needed.

I have a mossy oak baseball cap in forest floor that I've used for about 20 years.  I'll wear it until it falls apart, it fits perfect and I've never found another one like it.

Forest Floor was one of their best patterns. I have a MO chamois shirt for about 20 years still looks new never faded. Heavier cotton material, the good stuff. Fav shirt.

Have killed them wearing boonie hats, baseball caps and no hats. When I am serious and fixin' to declare war I bust out the camo doo rag.

Change your hat change your luck. If I ain’t killing that’s the first thing I change. Never met a turkey hunter who wasn’t a little superstitious. At least good ones.

Oh yeah, ball caps for me. Tried hunting in rimmed hats like boonies and such but it throws sound around on me.
