I've always been an avid shooter, but now I've decided to dip my toe into the hunting water by going turkey hunting this spring.

Since none of my friends are turkey-hunters, I've resorted to a self-taught approach filled with online research, video and magazines.

Being a first-time turkey, hunter, what advice can you fellow IN turkey hunters give?

What is a good public area to hunt? (No, I'm not asking to give away your hone holes - just general areas.) After checking the DNR site, it looks like the best stats for turkey are in extreme southern IN.

What is your preferred turkey load for a 2 1/2" chambered shotgun?

A lot of equipment is mentioned - what would YOU recommend?

I have some basic army camoflauge - will that be too visible to them or should I buy something more specialized?

Thanks!
