Joe, you may want to try the turkey forum on here. They have tons of advice for beginners. There are tons of chokes you could get for turkey such as the HS Strutt undertaker. You also need to pattern your shotgun to find the best load for your particular setup. As far as habitat, you can find them in numerous counties and areas. The best is to scout before the season to try and locate them. Crow calls and owl calls before they come out of roost often work good. Good Luck this year.
