if doing some simulated hunts means calling before the season.. sorry quiksilver i dont agree w/ that i think that is a very bad idea. they are hard enough to hunt to start, once they start getting called too its harder.. just something to think about

Get out early and often. My best advice is that you get out pre-season and do some simulated hunts. Try to get a bird in range. That will give you a learn-on-the-fly experience and you'll quickly learn how and where the birds are talking.
Turkeys, unlike deer, are creatures of habit and routine. They often roost in the same trees every night, frequent the same strutting areas, and you can intercept one by getting a leg up on his routine. Just don't get busted, or you will change his pattern and make them wary of your presence.
