Full foliage is my favorite, especially after green up.

I have to admit I am the worst dressed hunter in the woods, mix and match patterns, worn out with new, just a mess....lol

Me and you both. Lol. I just bought some new that doesn't match..but honestly I can't recall the pattern but I liked the look of it. Come to think of it, I can't recall the pattern of any of my camo. But it works.

Whatever faded bdu pants and jacket I have. Turkeys aren't real particular to be honest.

My seasonal progression usually goes from Forest Floor early to Bottomland/Greenleaf and then ends with Obsession.

The camo I wear is dictated by how funky it smells.


This  ^    I just go through all the possibilities available at the moment and wear the first thing I come to that doesn't make me pass out...   ;D :toothy9: :o
...The added advantage is that I don't have to worry about anybody else wanting to tag along with me.   ;D

On one my my trips to georgia back in the day, I figured it was time for some clothes washing when i woke up from an early afternoon huntnap and was covered in flies. From the smell they musta thought I was dead!

I've killed them in about any camo pattern on the market since 06 and called them in and missed in the patterns between 2000 and 2006. The turkey doesn't care, camo is for the hunter. With that being said it's whatever YOU have confidence in. For me, that's bottomland or green leaf. Year round

At any one given time I could have on a combo of Treebark, Advantage, Greenleaf, Bottomland, Realtree Edge, Realtree Hardwoods green, Realtree Hardwoods, Obsession, Realtree Extra, Realtree AP ect. 

30+ years of collecting camo will do that to a fella...

Realtree, my OCD doesn't allow me to mix and match.

Trebark top and NMG brown leafy bottom. My mask, hat, gloves all be random patterns just depending on what's sweated up and stinking.

Bottomland...

But early season can still be pretty cold for me... so last year I used my Sitka stratus jacket with a leafy top from cabelas. Just a good ol fashion real tree/break up country looking camo pattern.

I'll use that until it greens up enough for the green leafy top.

In over 40 years of Turkey hunting, I've hunted and killed birds in a lot of different camo patterns.
They all work if you do your part and set up right, match the background and remain motionless.
That being said, my current favorites are Realtree Timber for the early season and Mossy Oak Obsession after the foliage opens up. Most often I'm wearing 3-D leafy camo on my upper body.

Most of my birds the past few years were killed wearing od green Prana pants.  As far as camo I may be wearing KUIU, Sitka and Mossy Oak all at the same time, not much for Real Tree but I do have some.

As far as a favorite I guess I am partial to old school green leaf, though I don't own any.
