#2 is a huge concern around here.
When I leave West Lafayette and head north on I65 it is like a wildlife desert for quite some time. No trees or wood lines. All the woodlots are gone. All fields with little to any weeds due to the atrazine and glyphosate herbicide usage...it's not good long term for any of us...

Good advice above. Turkeys have all day to respond or not to our calls. Patience and woodsmanship kills more turkeys than fancy calling.

The Citori is a fine gun and will work just fine for turkey hunting.

Two Arkansas men remained in critical but stable condition at a Joplin hospital Friday, two days after having been shot by a third member of their hunting party on the opening day of turkey season in Kansas.
Dan Peak, the sheriff in Crawford County where the shooting took place, identified the two wounded hunters as Justin Wiles, 34, of Hardy, Arkansas, and Gary Dienst, 32, of Highland, Arkansas.
They were struck in their faces and upper bodies by the shot from a single shell of a .12-gauge shotgun fired by Dienst's older brother, Kenneth Dienst, 35, of West Plains, Missouri. The sheriff's office initially reported that all three hunters were from Arkansas but corrected that information on Friday with the release of their names.
An investigation of the shooting was winding down without having turned up anything to contradict Kenneth Dienst's account that he accidentally shot his brother and close friend, mistaking them for a turkey.
"We haven't had anything surface that indicates otherwise," Peak said.
The sheriff said the two wounded hunters have yet to be interviewed due to their relatively serious medical conditions. But investigators have found no evidence at the scene that was inconsistent with the shooting having been an accident.
The three men had obtained lease rights to hunt the property they were on. They had split up at dawn, with Kenneth Dienst getting dropped off by the other two who wished to hunt a different spot. Wiles and Gary Dienst set up just inside a wooded area, wearing camouflage and lying behind a fan made of turkey feathers.
About 8:40 a.m., Kenneth Dienst fired his gun at what he thought was turkey that he had been "calling in." The shot struck his brother and Wiles. Kenneth Dienst told investigators that they must have been hunting the same bird that he was and that he realized the mistake he had made almost immediately after pulling the trigger.

Ruger American. VERY nice .243 rifle.... I like mine too. But only have owned it for 6 months owned mine for a couple of years. Impressive groups it will put up at the range. My son killed a deer with it the first day of youth season and I killed a buck with it the second day of season this year. 2 shots fired at deer and 2 deer down.

I buy american when I can.
Have a stormy kromer flannel shirt made in Michigan. Nice quality and feel but it's a $100 shirt. At that price I can't afford a closet of similar clothes when a shirt 1/5 of that cost does the same thing...the fact is they can build things overseas more cheaply.
some things like electronics we have no choice but China made...

100% legal However this tactic violates a long held safety rule of turkey hunting. Our own DNR has this on their website right now... www.in.gov/dnr/fishwild/2710.htm Safety Rules for Turkey HuntingSelect a calling position where you can see for at least 50 yards in all directions and where you are protected from the backside. Whistle or shout to alert approaching hunters of your position. Never wave or stand up. Never sneak in on a turkey or use a gobbler call near other hunters. Never crowd another hunter working a bird. Never shoot at sound or movement. Use a flashlight when walking in the dark. Be aware of turkey "fever" and its prevention. Disregard peer pressure to bag a bird. Be extremely careful using turkey decoys. Do not wear red, white, or blue outer wear or exposed inner clothing. Make sure your headnet doesn't obscure your vision. Don't assume you are the only hunter in the area. Be certain of a companion's location. Know and identify your target and what is beyond. Discuss safety techniques with companions. Never assume that other hunters are responsible. Always keep your gun pointed in a safe direction. Always keep your finger off the trigger until ready to shoot. Always keep your gun unloaded until ready to use. Never use alcohol or drugs before or while hunting. Respect property rights and secure permission before hunting. Hunters should unload their guns when crossing fences, climbing into stands, jumping ditches or traversing steep ravines.

Mendl are great. Might be overkill for turkey
I would go to REI and get some good waterproof boots. Most of the hiking boots are better quality and more waterproof than the stuff marketed to hunters.
I have some Salamon GTX boots and they are waterproof, light, and I can walk all day in them. Not been able to find any "camo covered" boots in the same league as these.
