I found a good place to practice is in the car. I have a tape (Primos) with some instruction and some wild turkeys. I just drive around listening and trying to mock the turkeys. It helps keep things sane at home (beats having my wife send one of the kids down into the basement late at night to see what that noise is). People in other cars probably think I' m crazy (foaming at the mouth or something) but I won' t ever see most of them again.
