so I've decided after much debate that I would like to give turkey hunting a chance this spring. problem is, I know absolutely nothing about turkey hunting! think you seasoned vets can throw some knowledge in my direction?

Sure can - lots of great info here on all the back pages from mnay veteran hunters. Use the search function and read son read!

And use the FAQ swcrion above.

Watch some videos, read as much as you can, ask questions on forums like this, and above all, look for areas that hold decent turkey populations. Better yet, find a mentor or hire a guide to take you out a few times, this will definitely shorten the learning curve.

I read this book when I first started:

Pretty good introduction.

Like Uncle Nicky said, finding a mentor would be a great start. Are you new to hunting or just turkey hunting? Having basic hunting woodsmanship would be a plus.

Just new to turkey. Done some deer and lots of squirrel and coyote. The biggest issue around here is finding places to hunt.

Welcome to the awesome world of turkey hunting...
