Lots of time in the woods, both hunting and scouting.

Lots of truth to this.At a minimum learn the land you're hunting like its your living room.A very good older friend of mine who is a flat out turkey killer that looks like he stepped out of a 1970s Outdoor Life story once told me "dont be afraid to go with your gut and try different things"."More lessons are learned from mistakes than from anything else;them turkeys will teach ya if ya let em".He always told me if you shoot a turkey everytime on the first setup all you've learned to do is shoot turkeys.Mess it up a couple of times,which you'll do,then when you finally get him after 4-5 tries you'll have a better understanding of why you got him.

This is nothing you can buy, but something you'll eventually get, and that is experience.  First, You'll have to kill some birds, get busted by others, plus have good and bad experiences with turkeys in close so you can learn what you can get away with and what you can't.  Like most things in life, experience is one of the best teachers.  You can read all about what to do and what not to do, but once those turkeys school you a few times, those lessons will make more sense to you.  You've definitely asked some good thought provoking questions here and gotten great answers & help.  Really, nothing but in the field experience can shorten your learning curve.  Good luck, be safe, & have fun.

Personally I prefer baby wipes over toilet paper. If tp gets wet, it's useless. Baby wipes clean better and you can use them to clean your whole body.

If I need to wipe my whole body when using toilet paper, something has gone terribly wrong during the process... 

I will however concede to the fact that baby wipes are a whole lot better...    Using toilet paper for the process it was intended would be similar to trying to get peanut butter out of shag carpet with that same tissue...  Not all that effective.
Did I do that?

Fly fishermen are born honest, but they get over it.

I second wet wipes and a Thermacell.

One of my personal current interests is nest predators and how a majority of hunters, where legal bait to the extent of chumming coons.  However once they get the predators concentrated they don't control them.

Thats exactly what I was thinking.  :help: :TooFunny: but seriously, I agree as well.
Genesis 1:26
   Then God said, "Let us make mankind in our image, in our likeness, so that they may rule over the fish in the sea and the birds in the sky, over the livestock and all the wild animals,[a] and over all the creatures that move along the ground."

I hate turkeys

I can't go in the woods with a couple of packs of peanut butter and crackers and some Oreo's
