Ok I have never hunted turkey before and I hope to go in the spring. I have a few questions:
Oh, and if i get a turkey, should i skin it and take the whole turkey or should I just breast it out.
As you can see I have no experience and i need a lot of advice. Thanks
- I have a 20ga mossberg. Can i get away with the factory full choke or should I buy a so called "turkey choke"
- What shells to use. I know I should go pattern the gun with a few brands and find whats best but that is too much money for me. If i get some 3" no 5 shot (kent brand or winchester) will that do the trick?
- I have a few options on our property where to hunt. I can sit in an elevated enclosed stand that overlooks a meadow. This is what I would most likely do. Since the blind is enclosed (except for windows on each side that pop up) will that inhibit the calling?
- Do i really need to use a call? I know that that would most likely help my chances and I do have a box call (push pull type) but I'm worried I will just scare them away. If i do call and I'm waiting for a turkey to come in, how often do i cluck? Every few mins or every min....??
