[B]Major Dave pretty much summed things up.
One more thing about their eye sight. A turkey has just as good peripheral vision as they do looking straight ahead. Too,they have can see almost totally around their head. There's only a very,very small degree of angle they cannot see directly behind their head.
DO NOT move if you can see the turkey(or his friends). Only move if turkey(s) are behind a tree or some other obstacle. If you do, YOU WON'T GET ANOTHER CHANCE.
Have used full to extra full 'specialty' turkey chokes.
Remember, if you go with the super extra full turkey chokes, the chances of missing the bird at close range is greatly increased.
Again, as
Major Dave said, patterns your shotgun with different loads in 5,6,7 shot in either 2.75 or 3". Never saw the need for 3.5".

Preferably a big tree. AFAIK, there are more turkey hunters shot then any other form of hunting. Your camo'd from head to toe, being very still and making turkey sounds. Have something solid behind you where you can't see.
