Have a Rem. 870. and a limited budget.
Was thinking of buying my camo in the form of old BDUs from the army/navy store.
Do I need to camo the gun?
Can I just set up a blind using camo netting?
What is the most effective call for the least $?
What type of load is best (how about cheap bird/clay shot)?
Can I use a standard choke?
How about ettiquite? How do I find a spot in my local gamelands without stepping on the toes of other hunters?
Ok here is what you need imo. Your gun is fine. Camoing it would be better but yes you can get by without doing that. (But watch the movement turkeys are super hyper alert.) The BDU's are fine also but I would invest in a face mask or some kind of camo for your face. You can set up a blind with netting yes. I prefer to camo myself really well and just use the natural surroundings like my back against a tree or under one. Maybe just move some brush where you want it. A box or slate type call goes for 10-20 dollars on up. Both are easy to learn but both require a lot of movement so be carefull never move if they in anyway can see your movement even from the corner of their eye. Bird shot is out to small for adequate consistent killing penetration on a bird this size. whether your gun shoots 2 3/4 or 3 inch I would go with three inch 5's in a copper plated buffered load if available. Im not sure what you mean by a standard choke? But last year I called a tom in for a friend and he killed it dead at 20 paces with copper plated 4's shot from a short barreled over and under quail gun bored skeet and improved. Idon'tt recommend that open a chokes but if they are that close they work. Most likely yours is bored modified or full and your fine. As far as a spot begin 2 weeks before the season at least and locate 3-4 flocks in case someone is there. I usually have 2 or 3 flocks located within a 1/4 mile of the road. Sometimes someone else is at these. Then I resort to the couple I have 1 to 2 miles from the road and those never fail to be open for me. The basics are scout early learn their roost and daily travel. This helps as you can find them later in the day if something went wrong in the morning. Camo up well. No movement Don't over call. while scouting always listen for birds and save those sounds in your mind so you can practice making them and listen to some turkey sounds on the internet here's a turkey sound site http://www.turkeyandturkeyhunting.com/Sounds/
