You can use your locator call all day, not just in the morning.  Dont get to close on a roost set up, ive gotten within 100 yards without getting busted but that was pushing it.  If you get a bird to gobble between 11:30 and 3:00 do whatever you can to get to that bird.  They are usually by themselves at that time and looking for love.  You wont kill that many birds in camp.  I would say none, but once in a while............. Hope these tips help. 
If it looks fishy, fish it. If it doesn't look fishy, fish it anyway!

There is a free 2 hour turkey hunting seminar at Cabelas on Saturdya at 1 pm & Sunday at 3 pm if you can make it.  If not read past threads, read books, watch hunting videos, etc.
