Default Just applied for spring turkey tag...Now what?

Ok, gonna have a lot of questions over the next few weeks. I just applied for a spring turkey tag for two different areas of the Ruby Mountains of NE Nevada. The draw results will be available on February 20th. The season will be from April 3rd to May 2nd. I have a Mossberg 500 12 guage that I plan to use. (3 in.) The times for the season are from 1/2 hour before sunrise to 1:00 PM. The area that will be hunted (if I draw) will be mainly creek bottoms and meadows, with areas of aspen, sagebrush, and pinion juniper, as well as mountain mahogany and other shrubs. The mountains are steep mountains in one range that go from valley bottoms (6000 feet) to about 10,000 feet elevation. The birds will most likely be hunted at about 7000-8000 feet elevation.

What loads should I use? Calls? How far should I practice to? With what chokes? Camo recommendations? Any other comments? Tips?

This will hopefully be my first turkey hunt, so any tips would be great! I am very excited as this is the first turkey hunt this area has seen! I hope I draw! Wish me luck!

Thanks guys!!!
