RE: New hunter: how much does gun camo matter?
Actual camo itself isn't all that important, although it's not a bad idea, but you are gonna want something in at least a black matte finish. If you go get a shiny wingmaster or some other blued finished gun you are gonna want to put camo tape on it for turkey. I have hunting with a black synthetic remington 11-87 with a matte finish for years and just recently got a new one in camo. I like the synthetic so you dont have to worry about hurting the finish too much when you are crawling through thick brush, Basically just get some thing with a matte finish and you'll be ok.
