GET INTO THE HUNT
Spring gobbler season rewards the hunter who calls well and sits still. The Venator turkey hunting collection brings together the calls, decoys, vests, blinds and camo that put you in the game — box calls and slates for the run-and-gun setup, diaphragm calls for hands-free finishing, and full-strut decoys to seal the deal on a hung-up tom.
Whether you're chasing Rio Grandes across a Texas pasture, Easterns in hardwood bottoms, or working a stubborn gobbler off the roost, we stock gear for new turkey hunters and seasoned callers alike. Get set before the woods wake up.
Turkey hunting essentials

- Decoys: A hen-and-jake or full-strut setup to pull toms into range.
- Concealment: A vest with a seat cushion, plus full camo including gloves and a face mask.
- Cover: A run-and-gun ground blind from our hunting blinds.
Frequently Asked Questions
What calls do I need for turkey hunting?
Start with a friction call (box or slate) — they're the easiest to learn and produce realistic yelps and cuts. Add a diaphragm (mouth) call for hands-free calling when a gobbler is close and you can't move.
Do I need decoys for turkey hunting?
Decoys aren't mandatory but often help by giving an approaching gobbler something to commit to. A single hen or a hen-with-jake setup works in most situations; full-strut decoys can trigger dominant toms — or spook wary ones.
What should I wear turkey hunting?
Full camo head to toe, including gloves and a face mask — turkeys have excellent eyesight. A vest with a built-in seat keeps calls organized and lets you set up quietly against a tree.
How close do turkeys need to be for a shot?
With a shotgun, most hunters keep shots inside 40 yards and pattern their gun and load ahead of season to know their effective range. Let the bird commit rather than rushing a marginal shot.
