RE: Newebie???
Well ... if your really new to turkey huntig then you have a lot to learn , my best advice to give you is start reading.
There is a book out there called ( Wild Turkey ) it's part of the complete hunter series , you can find this book at any sporting goods store.
It also gives you expert advice on locating , scouting , calling , habitat , equipment and hunting techniques.
When it come to calls , take bullmoose advice and start off with a box or a slate / friction call then you might want to try a mouth / diaphragm call .
