2.Never over call. I called in a hen and a long beard using a mouth call and slate,calling constilantly for a 1/2 hour. Tom wouldn't have come in with out the hen and I had to get her mad.
3.Be patient. I can only hunt to noon. I've had to push the issue moving in on a bird to seal the deal more then once,
4.Dont use decoys in the mornings, as there are more hens available after roost. You've never called a hen into decoy's and pulled the Tom's with them?
5.Know your equipment and when and how to use it. Agree
6. Dont use a turkey call while scouting, dont use a crow call as turkeys here crows all day long, use an owl hoot. I have used a crow call as a locator with great succes as have thousands/millionsof other hunters.
