Mike01....another thing to add to what everyone else has said, don't get wrapped up in thinking you have to be a world champion caller. Often times, more often than not, it is better to remain quiet after getting the gobbler's attention. Calling a lot will make them gobble, but in nature, the hen is supposed to go to the gobbler. By calling less, it will make the gobbler look for the hen and hopefully wind up in your lap. Learn the yelp, cutt, and purr and this will be enough to get you by for the first year. Turkey's are also noisy when feeding and scratch in the leaves. After getting a gobbler interrested, a few light purrs and some leaf scratching will often times put the tom at ease and he'll come on in to look for the hen that is content and feeding. I've killed more birds by playing hard to get than getting them all fired up. Good luck this season and as previously stated, think safety first and enjoy the spring. One more thing, PATIENCE, PATIENCE, PATIENCE...When you think you've given him enough time to show up, sit there another 30 min to an hour. This has cost me several good birds.
