I am going to use a ghillie for turkeys this spring. I have found me a good very portable seat I've had a suit (coat/pants) from Cabelas the light weight one. My question is would I be able to get by just using the coat, I want to do this for mobility reasons as the pants will hang on too much stuff going through the woods, the jacket I can get mobile quickly. Will just the jacket be enough cover for me or do I need to use the pants? The jacket comes down below my waist when standing. Need a little help from the folks that have used a ghillie in the past. Thanks

Not sure about turkeys but I have the T.C.S. ghillie jacket from cabelas and used it with a pair of brown pants and had a total of 16 deer come within 10 yrds of me while hunting on the ground this year.

My ghillie is synthetic and it does not hang up as much as you might think. I have been astounded at how well it works for stalking deer. knowing how well turkeys see, I personally would use the whole outfit or at least have some cover high enough to cover my legs.

I have the standard ghillie suit ,And I don't like it because it gets caught up on branches and trees. It's made of burlap . This past fall I purchased one from Big Jim. It is called the "bush in the bag " . He is a sponsor on here .
It is lighter and does not get caught on branches ,It is of little greener than what I like ,So I'll be taking care that this summer. You also can use it as a camo blind in front of you .Or you can wear it just like the ghillie suit.

with turkeys sitting still is the key any good camo works until you move.
I do want to try one of the ghillie suits though, everybody speaks highly of them and I dont hunt out of trees much anymore deer hunting.

I to don't like the jacket and pants combo. The pants never fit right and hang on everything in Texas. I use a poncho style that is knee length and use a belt around the middle. Works great! Hope to get out for turkeys with it myself this year.
