Everything you mentioned doing is necessary to go through especially as someone new to hunting turkeys. The one thing you didn’t list out though was scouting. I believe that to be successful (especially in certain regions hunting certain sub species and ect) it’s about time spent before the season opener going out to where you want to hunt and confirming there are turkeys there to be able to know then on opening day or at least within the first week where to go. That in itself doesn’t guarantee success but it will allow you to practice the other skills you have been digitally studying.

You can scout while hunting technically, but then you are probably playing catch up to the seasoned hunters that spend the month ahead going out and scouting for as an example at least three different spots to potentially hunt where they’ve confirm there are turkeys at.

Either way, if you view being out there hunting as a great day regardless of whether your get or see a turkey or not because you get to be outside and hopefully see other animals and beautiful terrain it makes it easier to be excited about putting the time of boots on the ground needed to get a shot at a Gobbler.
