hey yall...just got my first turkey hunt. go ahead and flood me with links about first timers and strategies. I read the whole nwtf.org website. some of the things that are confusing me:

1. All the talk about busting the birds and then calling them back. why not just shoot the suckers when you first see 'em?

2. Calling im getting scared with this. if ive never done it...should i even try? what are the first calls to get when assembling an collection...or the most used (and when) on a hunt.

3. im sure ill find out when i go to a store, but what size shot?

4. What choke do most of you use for an average shot? modified, improved? same as birdhunting?

5. when i go to scout, what are the main things to look for besides medows. How do you know if they are in the area?

TIA for all your help!!!
