We finally got drawn, too. Little worried about winter kill though. Planned on doing some spotting about now, but with the late spring I think insted we'll just go "spotting" while we hunt in 2 or 3 wks.
Best of luck.

Locate them when they are roosting in the evening(I used a crow call and a slate call) and hunt them when they hit the ground in the morning.
Full camo
good quality call
try and get above them
use decoys
i would try some of the newer wmu's that opened up a few years ago. I got mine in 305 but I've heard the numbers in 400 are good this year.

They are also in the Chain Lakes area. We have come across quite a few of them while hunting ruffies down there.
You"ll need to learn to call
After many years of waiting I got drawn last year and was successful. You'll need to learn to call, I would say you have ZERO chance of success without calling them in.
Move and call until you get a gobble, move in quickly but extra quiet. Set up your henny penny decoy move back into cover and sit. DON'T MOVE Turkey's ain't smart they are just afraid of absolutely everything.
