Just make sure you set up where it will be shady when the sun comes up so there isn't any glare from your shotgun. I do prefer to wear camo for them (IMO any neutral color would be fine) and of course avoid red, white, blue, and black for safety. Sit with your back to a shoulder wide tree if you can, for safety and to hide your outline. Definitely a face mask, I've had several birds spook when I don't bother to cover my face when trying to get them archery close. Jakes will come to you sitting in your cherry red pickup, but a long beard does shy away pretty easily.
I prefer just one hen decoy that carries easily. Focus mainly on being able to make realistic hen yelps, you can call in a lot of birds with just that sound. Think about your set up too, they don't like to come downhill or cross some obstacles, such as creeks or fences. Oh, and if you like to shoot coyotes you should load one side up with a PRB, coyotes come in to turkey calling quite often too.
My most successful method is to be at my hunting spot well before daylight, walk into the woods, and listen for them. You can crow call or owl hoot to make them gobble, but most mornings they will sound off all on their own about 30 minutes before daylight. Get as close as you dare, set the decoy out, and wait for daylight. I give them a couple yelps after setting up to let them know I'm there, but then don't call until they come out of the roost and hit the ground. If you don't hear them fly down you can still tell when they leave the roost because their gobble sounds farther away suddenly. Don't mistake that and think that they are moving away from you.
You can also "put them to bed", do some crow calling at dusk the evening before and they'll gobble and tell you where they'll be the next morning.
