get your self a good ground blind, get all black clothing from waist up(long sleeve shirt, gloves and face mask, these will help to blend you into the backgrond of your ground blind), good decoys are a must consistently pull big birds in(full strut decoys are the best), shoot the magnus bullhead broadhead(125 or 100 grain your choice, it will take the turkey's head clean off with a dead centered shoot, then you won't have to track it), scout to know the patterns of the birds you will hunt(the roost is the most important in my opinion), practice a lot with the broadhead you will be shooting(the magnus bullhead is very durable unlike the gobbler guillotine) practice calling this winter and by spring you will be good enough to call a bird in to range(as soon as they see the decoy 90% of the time they will come running in, it's awesome to watch),

Yes seasons tactics are different. I would also recommend taking a couple birds with a gun first.

I was going to try hunting some this fall. there is a group of birds i have been watching and patterning. i have even been able to sneek up on them within 30-35 yard or so just took awile to do so. just figured i should try to get them to come to me less chance to spook them.

Sneaking within 30 yards won't happen very often. If your hunting in the fall you can bust the flock up by spooking them off, then you try calling them back together. You can set a blind up when calling them back, that makes it a lot eaisier to get drawn on a turkey.
