RE: turkey hunting
It's no different than hunting them any where else other than....
It's easier to call a turkey up hill so if a turkey sounds off above you, you'll want to get either on the same level as the bird or above them. It's tough to call turkeys downhill because they can look downhill so well and scan an area...more times than not they'll hang up...when calling them uphill there's a better chance that you'll see the bird before they see you as well.
Also, trying to hold your shotgun up in the air towards an uphill approaching bird is tough.
Other than those little tidbits....good luck.
