RE: a new-comer
get your self a good ground blind, get all black clothing from waist up(long sleeve shirt, gloves and face mask, these will help to blend you into the backgrond of your ground blind), good decoys are a must consistently pull big birds in(full strut decoys are the best), shoot the magnus bullhead broadhead(125 or 100 grain your choice, it will take the turkey's head clean off with a dead centered shoot, then you won't have to track it), scout to know the patterns of the birds you will hunt(the roost is the most important in my opinion), practice a lot with the broadhead you will be shooting(the magnus bullhead is very durable unlike the gobbler guillotine) practice calling this winter and by spring you will be good enough to call a bird in to range(as soon as they see the decoy 90% of the time they will come running in, it's awesome to watch),
