Turkey hunt with a muzzleloader? Can't be done.
You have to have a 12-gauge in Max 4 camo with 3 1/2 inch shells and at least 2 ounces of No. 4 copper-plated chilled shot and a $120 super tight oxide custom turkey choke, latest full camo apparel, including matched camo underwear, camo on the soles of your boots, camo socks, camo makeup under your camo face mask, full camo turkey hunter's vest with foldout tooshie pad to keep your camo buns dry and comfy, multiple pockets for the two-dozen mouth calls you carry, plus pockets for the half-dozen box calls, the slate, glass and ceramic friction calls and the various gobble, power crow and shock/locator calls. You also have to have a GPS and a video cam with you. You also should really consider packing along a pop-up camo blind with interior seating, and perhaps a warming device and battery-powered mosquito repellent. Don't forget coffee, sandwiches, sports drink with electrolytes and some power bars.
If you haven't spent at least $2,000 on gear and are carrying less than 30 pounds of it with you to your stand (and at least half of it manufactured in China), you cannot kill a turkey.
Just ask the good old fellers at Primos, Strut, Haydell, Quaker Boy, MAD, Eastman, etc.
Until all this stuff came along, no one was ever able to reliably harvest turkeys.
And that's the truth.
:blah:
