April 9th!!

I have never taken a turkey, but it is becoming a hunting obsession!   :)  

I'm looking forward to it more than deer or elk.

This year I'm going to add another hen and a Jake deke along with some kind of gobble call.

Any recommendations for a shaker gobble call?

Monterey, about the decoys, don't just add two more, you only need two a Jake and hen, but they need to be the best
You can afford. I use the DSD brand, they are the most anatomically correct made, with unreal paint jobs. Since Avian
X updated their decoys last year, I would use them, good paint
And the right size now.
  You actually only need to use a Jake, but since I use a hen call I put out a hen also. The Gobblers just cannot tolerate a
Jake and 99.9% of the time they come in and never look at the hen, they just murder the Jake over and over.
  Quaker Boy makes a good shaker gobble call. I only use it early in the season when the birds are establishing their territory. Works great at times but be careful with it don't try to sound like the baddest gobbler in the woods. Try to sound like a Jake trying to gobble.

I use Avian x. Jake and hen.

However I don't use a gobble call, but would agree if u are going to use one make it sound like a Jake.

Forgot to mention, don't use the gobble call on public land especially during the gun season. You can call up all kind of idiots.
  I use it during archery season in Kansas or Nebraska or on private land only. Don't take a chance, it's not worth it.

Crispin,

Tell me a little about your strategy? I've never hunted them and sure want to try, but don't have any experience in doing so, but i do have a gillie suit.

Crispin, from the look of those tail feathers, you got an old warrior. Congrats on an early bird. I am looking forward to giving a couple of birds a problem in a couple of weeks.

That is awesome Crispin! No blind as well? Wow! I really like big heads for turkeys. I've had good luck with the Simmons Tree Shark.

Excuse me Crispin. First names are far more personal.
