Calling a turkey in close is only half the equation. The right accessories keep you hidden, protected from hazards underfoot, and armed with the tools to produce the sound that closes the deal.
Every accessory here solves a specific problem in the turkey woods. Here’s how to put together a complete spring kit.
What accessories does Knight & Hale make for turkey hunters?
Knight & Hale’s accessory lineup covers decoys, snake gaiters, pot call strikers, face masks, and hunting gloves, all designed to work alongside the turkey calls lineup and Run N’ Gun® vest series. Each accessory solves a specific field problem, from concealment to protection to calling performance.
When should I use a turkey decoy?
Decoys are most effective in early spring and during peak gobble activity when birds are actively seeking hens. Position the Pretty Girl™ Lookout Hen Decoy in a visible clearing at 20 to 30 yards and pair it with active calling to give approaching gobblers both a visual and audio target.
Do I need snake gaiters for turkey hunting?
In warm-weather states and late-spring seasons, snake gaiters are practical protection worth adding to your kit. Spring turkey seasons coincide with peak snake activity, and gaiters let you focus on the hunt rather than watching every footfall. Knight & Hale’s Snake Gaiters are significantly lighter and cooler than dedicated snake boots.
Why do turkey hunters need a face mask and gloves?
Turkeys have exceptional eyesight and will pick up exposed skin and hand movement at close range. A face mask and gloves eliminate the two most common giveaways before the shot. The Run N’ Gun® Mask and Run N’ Gun® Gloves are both patterned in Mossy Oak® camo and designed to move without restricting your calling mechanics.
Can I call turkeys while wearing the Run N’ Gun® Gloves?
Yes. The Run N’ Gun® Gloves are fingertipless on the thumb and index finger, so you retain the feel needed to manipulate a striker, or work a box call without removing the gloves. The stretch-fit backing keeps everything snug during active calling sequences.
