A buddy took me turkey hunting for the first time this year. It was definitely a learning experience for me! What a great time!
Where we hunted, the gobblers would make some noise from the roost, but after that they were VERY quite. The tactic we used was a 'less is more' mentality. My buddy said that since the birds were not making much noise, that we shouldn't either! We would get set-up in a likely spot (based on sign, or just knowledge that we knew the birds were somewhere within a 1/2 mile or so...), then he would call just ONCE! Maybe he would do a little follow-up 'cluck' after about 10 minutes. We would sit for 20-30 minutes at a time, with him only calling once or twice. We got some action several times doing this. The birds would come in quiet, and surprised us on a couple of occasions.
There were other hunters in the area here & there, and they stood out like sore thumbs with all of the calling they were doing! It was quite obvious that they were generally scaring the birds, as opposed to getting them in.
Anyway, as with all hunting, there is no single 'right' way, but this worked for us on that particular weekend.
Good luck!

PS: We didn't get a gobbler, but had two different birds & lots of hens within range on different occasions over two days of hunting. This first time hunter couldn't close the deal!!! ;-)
