Remain perfectly still and have patience.

Do everything he says and Be Still!!!Don't move until he gets up and tells you to get up. Even ifboth ears have gnats in them, your butt has a thorn in it,your back aches like a dump truck is on it,and you swear that a turkey is not within a country mile. Don't move.
Andalways remember: Just because a bird stops gobbling does not mean he is not there. Most males don't like to talk immediately before or during sex.
Seriously birds will stop gobbling more times than not when they are close. Good Luck!

Be patient!!! Try not to lose your mind and go MAD when that gobbler you hear or see seems like it is taking FOREVER!!!!! He will come, just have faith! GOOD LUCK!!!
Seriously! Talk to your buddy about were you are going and how you are going to hunt. Ask him if you will be blind hunting or run and gun? Remember that camo works in the woods, but the inside of a bling is normally black. So if you are blind hunting you may want to wear something black, but don't forget to take your camo too just in case your tactics change.
