[QUOTE="OG10, post: 2756455, member: 54584"] OK good you have some minimal Intel on the area that’s always a bonus next I’ve hunted turkeys in five different states successfully over the past 50 years and religiously in Texas every year for the past 35 I missed a few seasons being out of the country anyways the point being as someone suggested a shotgun gives you a little bit of an advantage to the fact you don’t have to move to draw, a box call requires you to use your hands to move the device which creates movement turkeys have very good eyesight do not underestimate it, full body camo relative to the train you’re going to be in, a face mask with a cut out for eyes and mouth only things to break up your silhouette sitting against deadfall moving through leaning up against trees/ rocks, vegetation turkey hunting is great you will learn a lot in the woods just being there but for a first timer a box call could be an advantage however if you have the ability acquire some mouth calls and start practicing you could give them a try every hunt is a learning experience some of the curves are steeper than others enjoy your hunt if you have any questions feel free to ask decoys are good but you’ve got to be in an area that has birds in it spring hunts depending on the location can be hit and miss spring rain spring winds all those could affect your hunt birds like bugs ,seeds/grains flowers in the spring they like to strut finding an area listening and moving accordingly to position yourself in the best possible position is very advantageous to turkey hunting ,don’t confine yourself to one small spot use your binoculars use your ears look for them move to intercept.
