Default The Basics

So this will be my first year out turkey hunting this spring, and I know absolutely NOTHING about turkeys, and hunting them. So, I did about an hour of reading in the turkey section of HuntingNet's Turkey Hunting Section.

So, tell me if I have this right...

So when you first get out in the morning around a half an hour or so before sunrise, you want to use a locator call (crow, coyote, etc.) to find our where the toms are roosting?

And roosting is when a tom goes up in a tree and makes his calls to attract a hen over?

Anyways, after I get a response from my locator call, I then move into his roosting location, and stop about 100 feet from his tree. Then do I just start making the calls a hen makes and try to work him in close?

By the way I don't have a blind or decoys. But, if one or the other are extrmely helpful please let me know.

Thanks in advance.
