This is my 3rd year turkey hunting and will be my 3rd (and hopefully last for a while) gun to be using. I agree with most of what's been stated in the previous posts, especially knowing your gun. It is important to have a dull finish on your gun, but it doesn't have to be camo. I used a gun sock on my Winchester last year because it is very shiny. This worked well, but I didn't like getting the dew on it and having a wet gun. As stated earlier, BE STILL, patient, and stay in the woods longer than the other guy. I am not the best caller in the world, but I've heard turkeys that didn't sound like turkeys. Remember not to over call and be patient. If you'll learn to enjoy the experience and not just the kill, you'll be rewarded every time you get in the turkey woods and you will be hooked for life. Good luck this spring and safe hunting.
