Make sure you have some hevi-shot and an improved choke tube for April 26, since that’s opening day for spring turkey hunting in MA. The season ends on May 22. Last year 3,027 birds were killed in the spring. The harvest rates spiked in the following three counties: Worchester (779), Berkshire (489) and Franklin (434). Bag limit is two bearded birds; one per day. If you are a good caller #6’s should suffice. Use #4’s or #5’s for longer shots.
