I wanted to drop in and say hello. I honestly haven't hunted since I was a young kid. Its been so long I misplaced my hunters safety cert. and have to try to get a new one from the DNR. The reason for the hunt is my fiancé, Rachel, used to go hunting with her father who passed away a few years back. She has recently told me that she misses it out there. Not so much the actual shooting, but being out on a hunt. I figure the least I can do is give it the old college try for her. So, come spring, look out Turkey

I plan to either borrow or purchase a Remington 11-87 from a buddy of mine. It is wood with high gloss finish, blued steel on the rest. From the research I have started the gun is a good start, but will probably need a camo wrap of sorts. I found something for shotguns at my local Cabelas that looked like it could be worth a try. Not having any friends that really hunt I am scouring the internet for help. I read that optics aren't a NEED but they do help a lot. A full camo set up is however a NEED.

I believe the gun I am looking to purchase has a few different Choke Sets (If Im saying that wrong please correct me). Looks like it would come with an Extra Full Choke which I read is what you want for turkey hunting.

Ive had to go as far as to look up where to shoot the bird. Next would be how to field dress a Turkey.

I know Im missing important information. I feel foolish at the age of 29 asking for help, but thats the way we learn right? If you have any helpful info Id love to hear from you. Even if it is a respected website that you recommend that is a huge help. I don't have a large budget but don't want to buy junk either so info on quality products would be huge too!

Sorry this ran long, wanted to give a little background before I started begging for help
