Camo, thermacell, gun with Turkey Shot, and practice your calls...find some birds...when you get them to answer get set up where you are consealed...sit VERY still if you can get them to come in...have your gun already pointed down range when set up...this allows for very small adjustment when shooting...when they get close put the pattern over their head and go pick them up when they start flopping...being VERY still and calling is key...don't over call...get an answer, set up and then use your instinct on how much to call from there...good luck...not too tough if you have birds and do the rest...
Scout the out Ship! See where they are roosting and where they go when they come down..... I usually start watching close about 2 weeks prior to the season to pattern them. Very important to pattern the shotgun before hunting also.
soo .. as a complete newbie how do i tell where they are roosting?? i hate scouting this particular spot ...... one spot here i took 50+- ticks off of me .... did most of my deer scouting here with the car and binoculars
The best way is to be there by daybreak and find out where they are roosting. You can use a shock call like an owl or crow to get them to gobble on the roost before they fly down, or you can just wait and they'll do it on their own. It's usually not easy to find out where they go once they're down unless you can see an open field from a few hundred yards away. If you're not sure where they roost you have to start close to the access, could take a few mornings to find them. IMO, NEVER call to birds you want to hunt until you are actually hunting (shock calling on the roost is OK though). You will only give them a free education and make it much harder to call one in.
