Probably not, but if you are concerned, don't wear it while turkey hunting. Buy it anyway, it's a pretty cool cap. You are right, turkeys have excellent eyesight, but with that little color in the cap, you should be okay.
Nice hat, but I read in a book about turkeys that they can see a penny taped on a tree from 300 yards away. I cannot remember what book it was for the life of me, but I remember that line in it. It suprised me, because I knew their sight was good, but not THAT good.
Probably would be ok, but just don't moveyour head onemillimeterwhen they are in your line of sight. I've had NUMEROUS occasions while wearing blaze orange parka/hat/etc.during deer gun season where turkeys have wandered by well within shotgun range. The thing aboutseeingthem during deer seasonis that I don't have to do any movement at all to get a gun into position. It was just sit back and enjoy the show. Would be different if I were actually hunting turkeys.
Yea good looking hat, but i dont think i would wear it turkey hunting.

No, don't worry about spraying your turkey huntin clothes with UV killer, turkeys can't see UV. It all has to do with the rods and cones issue. Deer see much better in low light conditions, which is when UV tends to glow. Turkeys can't see squat in low light, so UV isn't an issue. About the hat, it's a sharp lookin hat and I'd say wear it, it's not enough to draw attention to a turkey's eyes. There's orange and brown and yellow leaves all over the ground, brown limbs and all sorts of colors in the woods. That little bit of orange will not keep you from killing a bird. The main thing is to break up your outline and choose a good base color or shade of camo. Before the woods start greening up in the fall, I will wear something with no green in it at all, like realtree hardwoods or mossy oak bottomland. You don't wanna be sitting in bare woods looking like a big green blob. Once it greens up I put on the obsession. You can always stick some limbs and leaves in your hat too. Wear the hat.

birds see color very well, if your wearing blaze, they'll see it. they may come to a call if you have orange on but they won't like it, and any movement will definately be seen. Have saw it alot, the birds come in slowly, half the flock is alarm putting and they are all nervous, odds won't be in your favor of taking one if you wear blaze.

How good are their eyes?
