This will be my first turkey hunt this spring, I'm wondering what laws I need to abide by and anything I can do to help bag one. I will probably hunting on public land, Jasper Pulaski, to be exact.
Thanks in advance.
What he said, and when you hear that Huey helicopter taking off, thats the turkey flying out of the tree your sitting undersit still, dont move, sit still, dont move, sit still, dont move & repeat
Try to roost a bird the night before or even a couple nights before is better than going out cold.

Along with your turkey hunting license make sure you but a game bird stamp..And make sure you have a plug in your shotgun that limits you to 2 shells.You cant have more than 3 shells.
You do need a game bird habitat stamp and a turkey license. Look it up. Dont get caught without one.
What would be the best call to get, I only want to get one right now because I am strapped for cash at the moment (college student temporally out of a job). My first thought is one of those mouth calls that way I wont have any movement. But I don't they they have a very far range. Good or bad idea?

Also there is no shell limit for Turkeys. I called DNR last year to find out. I had the plug out for deer season and since I don't hunt waterfowl I left it out.
Thanks for all the info everyone. I picked up a slate call made by primos today at Bass Pro. Only $10! It doesn't say anything about working when its wet though. Would a slate call with a wood striker work in the rain? I guess i could always try it in the sink or something
