If this is your first hunt don''t try to call with anything other than a Primos Hutchie Mama. All you have to do is push on the end and it calls. Most anything else you need lots of practice.
Also to get in shape I put a 50 lb. sack of deer corn in my pack and walk around with it a lot going up steep hills as much as possible. I've already been doing that this year for the last month.
Good luck!
