I started hunting turkeys late in life, about 10 years ago. I retired this winter and for the first time shot two birds in the same year. My first season was a tough hunt with bad weather, but I managed to get it done. This season I finally got out this morning and had a tom do exactly what he was supposed to do. It must be because I went old school and didn't try to fancy it up. I used an ancient Mossberg 835 from the first year they were made and a Lynch's Foolproof box call. Sometimes the old ways still work fine.

I may not be smart but I can lift heavy objects
I have a shotgun so I have no need for a 30-06.....

I have found that "old school" works almost every time it's tried. Most of my turkey calls date back to when I first started turkey hunting, about 30 years ago, including a Lynch Foolproof.............and I still use lead shot.

The cow is where you are, the bull is where you want to be.
No one gets something for nothing unless someone else got nothing for something.

I still use a Lynch Foolproof & 2 3/4" shells. It's been working just fine for 35+ years----no reason to change what works.
