What essential start up equipment is needed for turkey hunting?

My family and I have a lease with a crap load of turkeys. Nobody on the lease turkey hunts so I'm thinking about giving it a go. I've hunted all my life but never for turkeys so what are the chances I will succeed in killing one with the proper equipment?

Just bring me. I can help you out with the problem you have on your land.

All the equipment you need is a shotgun, full body camo and a simple turkey call. This plus a bit of patience tempered by a degree of insanity and you'll be chasing gobblers with the best of them...

Turkeys are much more of a challenge than deer or any other game around here IMO . Snake boots , a vest , decoy , couple of good slate calls , diaphragm calls , mask , gloves , good choke , box call . A blind would be nice but not a necessity by any means . A crow call , peacock call , or owl call .

Shotgun with a full choke, Federal Turkey Loads, Box Call, Full cammo including gloves and face mask, crow call, owl call....turkeys.
If you have turkeys you are in business. Just remember set up as close as you can. Don't call too much. Yelps and Clucks. Also, just imitate the turkey hens you hear.

A shotgun and some shells.
It's only as simple or complicated as you choose to make it.

Already covered probably but be covered from head to toe with camo, get a box call (most easy to use) and a shot gun with a full choke.. Learn where they go from the roost and set up in that direction.. Good luck!
eta: dont shot them off the roost... Not as fun as bringing them in yourself.
