Lang another welcome here..You' ve been given some good detailed advice here.
Looking back over the years one thing that still remains the same even with all the modern day equipment available to todays turkey hunter is learning how to set-up on a gobbler.This was the real key for me as a new turkiey hunter years back!You can be the best dressed,most well equipped hunter in the woods but it wont do you a bit of good in a set-up that is improper.Even the best turkey hunter/callers in the country use tact in there set-ups.They dont just sit down in front of the first big tree they come across and start calling in longbeards.They move in close say a hundred yards or less if given the opportunity,and hopefully on the same plane or level of ground.They look for opportunties with the easiest path of resistance that the bird has to travel in coming in.They try and position themselves in front of the gobbler between him and where he' s going.They avoid overhiding to where you cant get a shot and avoid overcalling!Knowing the lay of the land and pattern of the birds can help immensely in this regard.Folks that harvest longbeards year in and year out not only do their homework in the sporting goods department,reading books/mags,watching videos, time spent on the putor,etc,but they put time in the woods too or they have someone do it for them such as in my case in being a guide!!The birds themselves are the best teachers and your persistance afield helps in creating experience and thats what more than anything else will help you become a better turkey hunter!!Good luck and enjoy the time spent with dad in the spring turkey woods!!
