Turkeys...what do they look like?

So last night I went for a walk around the farmland by my house. Stopped to look at some beautiful painted trilliums (not too common; endangered) and I spook a turkey off the roost, not sure what gender it was, next to the swamp where the gobbler and hens had been the beginning of May. So this morning, I went out and put a decoy out in the middle of the open swamp, where I saw some turkey tracks and where they had flown down the beginning of May. I heard and saw nothing! I called somewhat sparingly, yelping and clucking maybe every 10-15 minutes and sat there for an hour and a half until I was cold and my butt was frozen into the ground,lol. I didn't get out tonight to check it out but tomorrow evening I'm going to go to that area and see if I hear anything roost and give it a go on Friday. We are suppose to get some rain Friday so maybe that will help. I was going to check out the state land, but I'm running out of time to check both areas so I might just stick around home and hope that turkey that is around is a legal bird and comes in Does anyone have any calling tips because I was using a box call, but felt like I am getting off key yelps or something, I have my ol' yeller slatek which I haven't used muched this year. Should I be going soft or call aggressive?

Ruth, I call soft at first gobble then move into an aggresive call. Make a tom think you need him then when he commits call soft like you could care less. This will drive him nuts like anyother male and he will come in on a rope.
