If you wear long pants it helps but then your pants get caught on everything. A lot of turkey spots don't seem to be so full of the briars as the deer spots are.
I always seem to end up in the briar patches hunting turkeys during the midday hours. I wear thick, double knee, work pants under my leafy suit and carry a lightweight pruner in my pocket. When you're getting close to a birds in a hedgerow or thicket, its more quiet just to cut your way throw than thrash.
I hunted a WMA in MS last season that was just ridiculously overgrown with briars. I've never seen anything like it. In some areas, there was virtually no choice but to cut your way through if you wanted to get off the bush-hogged roads. I hunted there for 5 days, never heard a turkey, never saw a turkey, never heard a gunshot, however, there was turkey sign everywhere. They would just disappear into the briar patches.
