RE: some advice needed from veteran turkey hunter
This is a question I have seen asked more often than any other. Technique is a matter of situation, and there are an infinite amount of situations within situations. The best advice I have seen given, to a new turkey hunter, is to hook up with an experienced hunter and get him/her to let you tag along, or get them to do some calling for you. You will hear all sorts of "rules" about turkey behavior, but the one thing is that turkey don't know the rules, they will act completely opposite to what the "rules" say. Sometimes, you can do everything right and come home empty.
