Hey congrats on getting into turkey hunting, hunting those gobblers in the spring is about as much fun as you can have with your clothes on. i'm from upstate NY so take any advice i give with a grain of salt when applying them to your hunting area, but i think i can provide you with some general guidelines/advice.
First of all, when it comes to finding them i think it is much easier to do in the spring then the fall. This is because the birds are much more vocal in the spring due to it being their breeding season and all. I would encourage you to do a little preseason scouting to try and determine where the birds are, but if all else fails you can get to the woods before dawn and wait for the gobbling to begin at first light. Hens are also much more vocal at this time and at times they cut and yelp aggressively, in fact i think it is a ton of fun to get in pissing matches with old boss hens. In fact if you find a gobbler that is all henned up and wont come to your calls, sometimes by aggrivating the boss hen you can get her to come to you (likely to teach you a lesson for sassing her) and will bring that longbeard with her. Also Birds are usually creatures of habit so once you locate where they roost, when/where they fly down, where they like to go, they usually stay pretty consistent. of course hunting pressure can change all this, but if you are careful turkeys will often return to the same roost sites day after day. As for calls, everyone has their favorites, i'm a pretty aggressive caller so i have a whole vest filled with different calls. I would have at least one locator call (crow call, owl call, etc), a couple friction calls (box call, push peg, slate call, etc) and a mouth call (the best for when they get up close). Like i said i'm pretty aggressive with my calling but everyone has different styles, the best thing you can do is to start softly and try to "take the gobbler's tempature". Meaning if he is gobbling at every sound you make and he's fired up, crank up the calling and keep him coming. If he isn't really responding to your aggressive calling you might want to tone it down and call softly, with soft clucks and purrs (try mixing in some leaf scratching like a feeding hen too). haha oh man i could go on and on, so i will stop here before this gets any longer, but if you have any more questions or any specific questions don't hesitate to ask
