Make sure you do alot of scouting, atleast as much as time will allow. Be very patient. Don' t give up and remember to enjoy just being out there.
I would make sure that you have everything in order now, Like where everything is as far as gear. Make sure you have your turkey vest organized and that you can get to the things in it with out making too much movement. Make sure you have a pair of binoculars. Make sure you have patterned your shot gun while in a sitting position. Get used to shooting that way.


I wish you the best of luck and hope that you have a safe hunt

keep your gun up and expect a tom to come in unanounced, they dont always gobble all the way to your gun. and if you do decide to move, take a good look around and listen first. if youve done your scouting and feel your in a good spot have confidence and sit still. as said before, just have fun bein out there. good luck.
