New to the site and Turkey Hunting
« on: February 12, 2019, 12:13:55 PM »
What's up everyone?!?  I'm new to the site and fairly new to Turkey hunting.  I have been out turkey hunting only 3-4 times in the past few years and still haven't harvested one myself, but fell in love with it and can't wait until spring. During the past 2 years, I've been blessed to purchase some land, and put it all into a CRP habitat management, so this year is going to be super exciting.

I also recently left my cushy corporate job in the optical industry to develop a new optical lens product that will help conceal turkey and waterfowl hunters from reflecting the massive amount of Ultraviolet light that reflects off of their eyeglasses given up their position. 

I'm excited to get into the woods this year, learn from all of you all. 

Cheers,
Adam

Thanks! I've already learned a lot by just digging in a little bit.

Welcome, can't wait to try the product.
Thanks for the welcome! The product is called Concealment Coating. It's the only optical lens that doesn't reflect Ultraviolet light back out into the field. Instead, the Concealment Coating absorbs it. Which is a huge deal because turkey can see UV very well and reflecting it could give away your position.

I attached a picture of a side by side comparison that has a pair of eyeglasses with the Concealment Coating on top and a pair of high end polarized sunglasses on the bottom, which do not have the coating. This image was taken outside today with my new UV camera.
