A good blind for starters, some decent decoys, an assortment of calls and umteen hours practicing with everything mentioned above.

a blind is a must

Blind, camo wear (full set up to conceal yourself), box cutter and/or slate call, practice with your bow and calls, and when you are in the hunt, make sure you bring water. Some hunters bring a gatorade or something else. No, water. Make sure you are very well hydrated when you hunt and you make as little movement as possible. One thing that people did not mention is practicing with your broadhead, and purchasing a good penetrating broadhead. You should concentrate taking a turkey within 25 yards, for a beginner, and be very patient. All the tools in the world don't mean crap if you don't have patience. Otherwise, good luck.

Don't know how ya feel about this but havin one guy with the bow and another guy doin the callin works pretty well.It draws the attention to the caller and away from the shooter and gives ya a better chance to draw the bow without gettin busted.

If I was dead set on using a bow Rob's exactly right a blind is a must and a close second would be learning how to use a mouth call!Obviousily the blind helps in this movement department but so does the ability to operate your call having your hands free to take care of that stick and string!!
