If your schedule allows it, I would go out a couple weeks before the season starts, an hour or so just before sunrise, and just sit and listen. You should hear some gobbling at daybreak, that will give you some idea where they roost. If they are in the area, I would try and pinpoint a general area where they go once they fly down, you might be able to get them to respond to a crow or coyote call, I'd hold off on hen calls until the season actually starts. This will give you at least a starting point as far as setup.

Your 20 gauge should do the job, buy turkey loads and use the tightest choke you can find. I'd keep the shots withing 35 yards.

Good luck!
