Here’s some gear guidance for getting on gobblers

You’re going to need a gun, calls, camouflage clothing, and maybe a blind, decoys, a vest, and other incidentals. You don’t “need” all these items to kill a gobbler, but they’re good to have.
Recently at a local sporting goods store, I saw a box of 10 turkey loads that were $70. Talk about overkill. My turkey mentor used a standard 2 3⁄4-inch No. 6 shot of duck and pheasant loads and killed a gobbler every year. A three-inch 12-gauge lead load of 4, 5 or 6 shot is a deadly combination.
