Your on the right track. When I started turkey hunting I had know one to help me out so I had to learn how to turkey hunt the hard way. I started out with friction calls and after about 3 seasons I felt confident enough to use the mouth calls.

I would recomend some books like Spring Gobbler Fever By Micheal Hanback.

Dont expext to much at first it takes a few seasons to break the code on these spring gobblers!!! Unless your blessed with good turkey hunting ground
