Gun Concealment

The shiny surfaces of a gun should be neutralized before heading to the woods. Several methods are available for doing this.  Elastic Camouflage Sleeves or socks are quick, inexpensive and effective, but may impair your ability to sight down the barrel correctly.  Camouflage Tape is good, but rust will develop under the tape if it gets rained on.  To help prevent rust, spray your gun with a rust preventer before you apply the tape.  Strip the tape off if the gun gets wet, wipe it down to remove the water and re-spray it with rust preventer.  Then re-apply the tape.  Be aware that rust can develop within a few hours of the gun getting wet. 

Another method of camo is to Parkerize, or Brown the barrel and receiver of the gun.  Usually you would want a competent gunsmith to do this.  The result is a dull, matte, non-reflective finish.  Another method is to Permanently Paint the surfaces in a camouflage pattern with camo-colored flat paints.   Start by painting the entire surface with a base color--usually black or brown.   Then follow up with several additional colors (green, rust, dull yellow, brown) in various patterns.  You can create these patterns by cutting out several different shapes from a piece of heavy cardboard.  Then hold these pattern boards on the surface of your weapon while applying the paint.  Paint will eventually wear off, so touch up the bare spots as needed.  Some hunters are appalled at the idea of ruining the finish of a good gun by painting it.  Most serious turkey hunters, however, are toting around permanently painted weapons.  If you do not want to apply paint or tape to an expensive weapon, buy a good used one and use it only for turkey hunting.

The most expensive method is to purchase a new or used gun that the manufacturer has painted in a camo pattern or one with a dull, matte finish.  Most brands and dealers offer specialty camouflaged turkey guns with short barrels and screw-in choke tubes that are great gobbler getters. 

If you decide not to camouflage your shiny gun, be assured that turkeys will see the out-of-place weapon despite your efforts to keep it concealed.  Camo that gun!
