Be the woods and brush in Blocker’s NEW Finisher Leafy Pullover Jacket
There is no dispute that the wild turkey has incredible eyesight. Experienced turkey hunters can all relate stories of big gobblers spotting them despite being hidden in the best of camouflage patterns. It happens occasionally, and it’s usually a matter of movement – but it is truly stunning how these birds can pick apart an otherwise inanimate object that wasn’t “there” before. When turkey hunting, proper camo is extremely important for blending in, and as the season progresses, the best options may vary. In the north, for example, during early season it’s not uncommon for turkey hunters to use camo patterns designed for deer or even waterfowl hunting, albeit briefly. That’s because it only takes a couple days of warmer weather for the woods and fields to flush green during spring, and nothing hides the turkey hunter better than a wall of fresh green leaves with a tree trunk backdrop. This is especially if you have the right camouflage clothing to blend in with it.
Some camo patterns inspired by the uncanny vision wild turkeys possess are a mix of shades of green with browns, blacks and grays in the background, and they work pretty darn good. However, basic turkey clothes remain two-dimensional. As any military sniper will tell you, 2D camouflage is not the best way to hide in plain sight. Blocker’s NEW Finisher Leafy Pullover Jacket features the same effective turkey hunting patterns, but amplified by the ultimate in 3D camouflage. Its design breaks the human silhouette up into irregular shapes and textures that mimic natural surroundings by creating depth and blending the wearer into the environment. When worn in the field, the Finisher Leafy Pullover appears natural and it moves just like real foliage, giving turkey hunters a stealthy edge.
Blocker Outdoors VP of Sales, Kevin Strong, said: “It’s a very technical design process, making sure the leafy foliage elements and spacing is just right, and features like a zippered flap pocket on the front and two slash pockets on the side, and can be worn as a layer over the top of a midlayer for those cooler climates”. The Leafy Pullover Jacket inherently runs on the roomy size for over-layering and it’s a great option for disappearing into the landscape to maximize the hunter’s ability to avoid being seen by even the sketchiest pressured turkeys.
