Turkey tactics. ?

Hey gang,
So this will be my first year trying to kill a turkey. Was never really interested in turkey hunting while living in WA state. I figure though, while I have an opportunity to hunt turkey around SD I might as well give it a try. I will be hunting archery and don't know a thing about them except they have good eye sight. Also I've got zero turkey hunting accessories or calls. What would a new turkey hunter need to get started? I have my own basic hunting stuff, first aide etc... So how do you guys do it?
 
Hit the turkey tune up this Saturday and you'll get more info than you can absorb at once.

Plus 1......I'll be at the Fish & Wildlife Commissioners booth......I'll have all the various calls, decoys, blinds, and gear you will need to turkey hunt.......Good calling demonstrations as well as how and when to call......Decoys will be very important to you as a bow hunter.

Dave Smith Decoys has donated a hen decoy (the best decoys IMO) and I will be raffling it off for one buck.

Well, I don't know if any of them are easy.....And unfortunately, trying to video on public land just wasn't something I ever did or even do nowadays in other states..... ;)

Not public, but where the lucky 20 kids will be hunting March 19th & 20th.
