Stick with basic stuff at first.
1) Location that has birds, use locals knowledge if possible
2) Get your weapon dialed in and know what the pattern will do at different distances
3) Learn to make a few basic calls, get a CD to listen to it driving to work
4) Get a hen and jake decoy

Find some locals that can help you find places that have birds you can hunt. Most choke tubes and turkey loads will kill birds, nothing exotic needed. Do some practicing at different distances so you know what your gun and pattern will do. Get a hen and jake decoy, again, nothing fancy needed. Learn to make some calls. A box call is pretty easy to learn, but I think diaphrams work best and are much more versatile especially when birds are closing in. Get a CD that you can listen to when driving to work etc and learn to use a diaphram so you dont drive any one crazy lol. Turkey hunting is a BLAST!!
