Just to follow up with homer here,
The field edge seems to be a great start point. The spot you setup is better if your off the feild edge by 5-10 yards cutting down your sight of all the feild by rely on your hearing for the areas you can not see.
Do not over call and a lot of turkey hunters tend to over call or call to much. Only give the bird enough to become interested. If he commits to your calling he normaly will let you know with a number of different gobbles, like double and triple gobbling. This is the time to have LOTS of patients and allow the bird to work towards you. If your using a decoy keep it close to you and make the setup look like the decoys is doing the calling. If the bird creates a zone and works back and forth walking away at times, sneek out and take the decoy off the feild , get back to your setup and wait him only calling loud enough to sound suttle and soft. He will come looking ....
