I know I get tore up pretty bad when the turks come in, just as much as anything else I've ever hunted- I usually close my eyes when I see a shooter buck so I don't get racksickness but when I open my eyes they're gone so my heart rate comes back down and I wait for the next one. There's lots of ways to calm yourself down, yeah right I've tried everything and I always figured if I DIDN"T get worked up then I would quit hunting but sometimes when I've made the decision to take my shot I am really really focused and sort of zoned in on what I'm about to do, it gets quiet in my head, tunnel vision, hit anchor and thump...it's off. I love it! I've taken a number of birds and there are a lot of topics to cover when it comes to turks- are you looking for specific advise? tactics? set-up? calling? gear? You might also try the search function on here as well, much has been discussed on turkey hunting. I'm sure that you will get whatever info you need from the posts taht follow. I absoutely love to turkey hunt!!!
