All I can say is if you do it, start selling your fishing stuff, and get ready to consider deer season just passing time until turkey season, because IT WILL HAPPEN! It took an act of congress to get me to go....actually 3 years of hounding....I finally caved. I no longer have a boat, no longer fish tourneys, actually sold about $2000 worth of rods/reels/tackle, and I find myself googling turkey stuff while in a treestand when I should be watching for deer. Once hooked, it is unlike anything you have ever gotten into. THIS is why I say DON'T do it....unless you're prepared for your world to be turned upside down. Been there done that! No boat , no tourny's any more, ex-wife ect. I still have one GLX rod with a calcutta reel on it just for when I need to put a kids @ss back in line for mouthing in the summer months. Yea, it happens once or twice ever 2 or 3 years I actually fish. ALL I CAN SAY IS DON'T START IT!!! Worse than anything I have ever done. I own a couple of thousand dollars worth of shop tool just to build calls to be part of their demise This is the truth....sold my boat last year...did not go fishing not one time!

Hey Im willing to spend a little money. Just need to know where to start! My buddy reccomended a Jellyhead choke. Im gonna patern it today with a full just to see. If I can get 10 more yards out of a better choke then Ill spring for it. Im sure you hacked a few things in the beginning too.

If I can get 10 more yards out of a better choke then Ill spring for it. Im sure you hacked a few things in the beginning too. LOL! The Jellyhead .660 for the 870 seems to be a great, all around choice that a lot of people have good luck with various loads. I don't think you could go wrong with that choke depending on what shell you plan to use. If you want to avoid a bunch of hassle and just KNOW what is gonna work right from the start though....I would buy whatever choke that Nitro recommends and some of their megaweight shells. Experimentation over with before it ever gets started.

Good Lord just looked em up, some of those shells are 8-10 bucks!
Heres what my buddy told me to do first. Sandbag the gun @ '10 aiming dead center of about a 3" circle, shoot plain #8's to see if its shooting straight. Then back up to 30yrd and check pattern with some heavy turkey 6's and go with it if its enough pellets.

As long as you know your capabilities and limitations and stick to them, you should be good.

Start with a slate and box call, listen to some calling and try to repeat the cadence and sounds. Try some hevi shot #6 with that 870 and jelly head. You need a face mask and gloves, you do not want any exposed skin. You will need a thermacell and a comfortable cushion.

BTW....if you like pickled feet, you should try pickled pig lips...I did on a dare...if you can get more than 3 bites down, you are the man....or very sick! i quit turkey hunting after 6 years of it. i sucked at turkey hunting but just like before i turkey hunted now i fish everyday again. you must have fished for those gay little bass. who wouldnt stop doing that so they could chase peckerheads around the mountains till 9 am and then be bored for the rest of the day?

TC looks like everybody is trying to help so I will too!
Calling: You can't call too much, too long or too loud! Now you'll see where some folks say that's a no no but those are just the greedy hunters who don't want you killing any of their turkeys! Don't worry with all this rythm and cadence crap you hear about. Hens spit and sputter the worst sounding yelps ever and gobblers stay with them!
Decoys: You're gonna need at least 2 and the best ones out are the primos wounded gobbler and the funky lil chicken decoy advertised by cabelas!
Locator calls: Bar none must have is the screaming peacock! It'll have every gobbler for miles choked up he gobbles so hard! And again this is a call you'll want to keep handy so you can blow it every 30 yrds or so on your way to the turkey but remember not to get any closer than 40 yards from his roost! Any closer and you'll spook him!
Adopt the pace of nature, her secret is patience. Emerson

If you're gonna start off turkey hunting in the delta, don't sell all your fishing shite just yet. That will be a humbling experience. I think North40R gave that same advice to every hunter that sets foot on that place. Not a good place to start turkey hunting!!
