I was thinking the same thing....DON'T PUT CORN OUT!!!

I normally don't put corn out while turkey hunting (we do for deer hunting) and it is legal in Texas to use corn year round and you can hunt over the corn, too. As someone else stated, get you a couple turkey calls and learn to use them now. One call to definitely get use to using is a mouth call. It is pretty much the most versitle call that you can use, however, it is also the most complex and hardest to use call. What is great about the mouth call is that you can use it with hardly any movement. I would pick up a slate call, mouth call, and a box call to start off with. You really don't need decoys, although it does come in handy if you are on the edge of a wide-open field. I use them when on the edge a open field and I have had gobblers come running to me from about two hundred yards (talk about getting your heart racing)! Get a turkey choke for your gun and go out and pattern your gun and see how it performs. This is very important becuase you need to know the maximum distance you can effectively kill a turkey. If you ask the question: "what size shotshell and what kind of choke should I use?" you are going to get several different answers. Based on a recommendation from a very knowledgable person, the best to use is 3" with #6 shot shells becuase it has been proven that in most cases (not all) that a 3" shell will pattern just as well and usually better than a 3.5" shell and the #6 shot allows for more BBs in shell. I would start off with some Winchester Supreme 3" #6 shot and go from there. You may have to use a different shotshell if you begin to see several "holes" in your pattern.

Just make sure to get out there as much as you can and you will learn from your mistakes...I know I did!

i put corn out for deer. how much and what are some good turkey loads?

In my opinion as long as you are using 3" shells it dosen't matter if your using #4,#5,or#6's it will kill a turkey. Also when calling in a turkey if you get the bird tostart commingto you if you just quit calling the bird is more likely to come in. But it dosen't always work, sometimes they won'tcome in at all.

I myself use Federals 3" magnums 2oz. 5 shot. Thats the best shell used from my gun. But 4 and 6 shot work well. I agree dont put out corn. Practice your calls everyday. Better go outside cause it will drive everyone nuts in the house. Pattern your gun... I agree with using hen decoys. I dont like to put out a Jake decoy.

yeah..............lol i have done it im my house
how much are hen decoys? what kind are the best?
arrowmaster wat is team chaos?

A really popular turkey load is the Winchester 3" shotshells. You can get them in either #4, #5, or #6 shot. #6 shot will give you more than enough nockdown power up to 50 yards or so and will also give you the added benefit of having more BBs.

i have a Remington 870 Wingmaster. I cannot change the choke in it. I use it for turkey, duck, smallgame, roosters, deer, clays.
PS- Does anybody know what the choke is in a Wingmaster.

Decoys can be as expensive as you want them to be. I use some made by delta that are very durable. I have had them for about three or four spring turkey seasons and have had great success with them when using them on an open field. Mine came in a "love triangle" which is two hens and a small jake. The love triangle cost me around $40 or so.

thats not to bad really how many decoys do you need? is one hen good enough? do i have to wear full camo and a facemask because ive heard that you but i dont know.
