Well, I gotta jump in here. I love turkey hunting more than anything else, but I guess that also depend on what time of year that you ask me. I've hunted turkeys successfully for 30+ years. I tend to disagree with the masses on certain aspects of it. I don't really believe that there's a such thing as over calling. I've spent many hours listing to live hens that wont shut up. with that said, I think that there's a time to call alot, and a time to go easy, you have to take the birds "temperature". Usually in the early morning the Toms will be henned up. I've had great success calling and arguing with hens. a hen like a good fight, and will seek out an intruder, bringing that ole Tom right in behind her. Mid morning for me is the golden hour, just after about 9 am. the toms are out looking after breeding their morning hens. a few yalps, clucks and a sort purr on a mouth diaphragm will usually do the trick. You can only hunt birds till noon, so I don't know much on hunting them after that. I also hunt a lot of public land. knowing not how to sound like a turkey hunter really helps here, as does woodsmanship.
I was never a big fan of decoys. out of about 85 turkeys, I've killed 2 over decoys. I'm not saying that they don't work, but I've had birds hang up as soon as they have seen them. I did kill one last year over a "statue". It held a longbeards attention long enough to stick an arrow in him. It was the first time that I've used one in over 10 years. I'm going to give them another chance this season. If you are going to use them, a hen facing you with a jake in tow. A gobbler will confront the jake in front, and usually off to the side. Be mindful of gun hunters.
I use the same arrows that I use for whitetails.
A blind is personal preference, theres a time and place for them. If you run and gun(bow), a portable blind can be cumbersome. I don't really like to hunt turkeys like deer. I like to go find them, again, there are exceptions. a set up in one spot after 9 am can produce good results when a Tom is looking for a new girlfriend.
If possible, the best time and place to shoot is when a bird is fanned out with its tail to you. It gives you a good bullseye....so to speak. after the shot, get on him, there wont be much blood.
With all that I've said, each situation is different. each turkey id different. One day a bird will be call shy, the next, you can get him with just a few yalps and a purr on a mouth or slate call.
I don't mean to sound like a know it all, but I've spent a long long time in the turkey woods, and I've had a lot of trial and error over the years....good luck to all.
