Just to add a couple of things. Toms don't always gobble. Just because you don't hear any gobbles doesn't mean they aren't there. Many times they will come to your calls silent. You have to be aware of this. To be a successful turkey hunter you have to be PATIENT. Just like JW said, you don't have to be a world champion caller to call in a turkey. You will learn from trial and error when to call and when not to call. It's a learning progress that will take a little time. Sometimes it will be easy and sometimes it will be downright impossible to call in a particular bird. Just a word of caution, when you call in and take that first gobbler, you will be hooked for life. It's an awesome experience.
