I found out today I'm being forced to burn a week of vacation. If I'm going to use vacation, then damnit I'm going to go hunting or fishing. I'm thinking of going OTC Turkey. I haven't hunted them since I was a kid many years ago in a different state.

Will birds at elevation be strutting later than birds on the plains? I'm hoping to buy a little time to gather up my spring camo gear, practice with my 30 year old box call, pattern the shotgun, and, in general, try to get my act together.

What else can you guys tell me to shorten my learning curve?
