I'm a "novice" turkey hunter that's killed a few mountain Merriam birds, but I'm far, FAR from being an expert. The birds that I have killed pretty much boil down to getting lucky, and I honestly can't say that my turkey hunting skills have helped me at all. Right time, right place. So, I have a couple questions for the more seasoned crowd. I will be hunting turkeys in the neighborhood of Broken Bow next month (May 15-22) & I'm wondering what to expect... will the turkeys still be actively gobbling on the roost and/or on the ground? What are the best calling/decoy strategies? Sit in a ground blind all day? etc.

I also plan to try killing one with my bow (if I can get one first with the shotgun)... any special considerations with that?
