When it comes to gear, turkey hunting can be as minimal or maximal as you choose. Many of the early, fabled turkey hunters needed little more than basic camo, a call or two, and a shotgun. Today, a lot of turkey hunters don habitat-specific camo, shoulder turkey-specific shotguns, and set ultra-realistic decoys. Depending on who you ask, what constitutes a necessary piece of turkey hunting gear will vary wildly. Ultimately, the gear you need depends on your hunting strategy. If you prefer waiting a tom out, you might not mind lugging a ton of equipment into the woods. But if you plan to run and gun, packing light is the way to go.

Regardless of your approach, I’ve compiled a list of turkey hunting gear

The new Mossberg 940 Pro Tactical Holosun Micro Dot Combo

High-octane shooting sports like 3-gun and multi-gun competitions aren’t just for the pros anymore. With the introduction of a lot of new and more affordable competition-style guns, more and more “normal” people like myself are getting into the shooting sports scene. Mossberg understands this too and wants to provide its customers with ready-to-go firearm offerings that will get them out of their houses and onto the flat range. As part of this effort, Mossberg has added the new 940 Pro Tactical Holosun Mocro Dot combo to its lineup which gives customers an optic-ready competition shotgun option that doesn’t require searching for a suitable optic.

21 Hunters on the Lucky Charms They Can’t Hunt Without

Vacation

HUNTING IS ULTIMATELY a game of chance. What are the odds you’ll cross paths with a buck? What’s the probability ducks will be on the marsh? As with any speculative venture, we try to influence the outcome with preparation, routine, and a dose of magic. For some of us, maybe that’s a rabbit’s foot; for others, a special knife. Archaeologists have found bright beads and smooth stones with the excavated remains of ancient hunters. As long as we’ve hunted, it seems, we’ve relied on charms to bring us luck—and meat. Here are some of our favorite odds-tippers and the stories behind them.

Vacation

There is an undeniable connection between the way you take care of yourself and how you show up for your community.

“Self-care” is a term we are hearing more often these days. It’s been a tough couple of years for most of us, and it has led to a reimagining of what we need to feel and perform at our best. Often this comes back to how we take care of ourselves, and that conversation is inspiring new practices.

Defining Self-Care

What does it mean to take care of yourself? What does it look like to take care of others? On a basic level, self-care is anything you do to meet your needs. Group care is the service and empathetic actions you and your group take to care for each other. It’s hard to have community care without self-care. And if you do, it’s probably unsustainable.
