Ok I'll be new to the Spring Turkey Game.. So I have a question for you and bear with me to see the point, i'm getting at.
If through scouting, you know where a Turkey (or flock is) and where they are going. Would a Turkey hunter find joy in setting up in ambush from point A to point B. Or is the "magic" in calling him to you?
Now I ask because many hunting practices have there own, call them guidelines. Example you don't shoot sitting ducks. Or I've hunted rabbits with guys with beagles and you don't shoot anything you kick-up until the dogs bring them around. See the "joy" is in the dogs working the bunny. (?)
I get the impression that the joy of Turkey hunting is the successful call?? Right/Wrong?
I believe the 'magic' is getting them to respond to your calling. Even if it is only scratching the leaves a little. It does not take the best caller in the world to kill a gobbler. It takes the knowledge of when to call what to say and better yet when not to call or stop calling.
The joy of turkey hunting for me is the response to a call that I have made. I know he is answering me.
