In my neck of the woods the birds might move out of an area after they have been "busted out" of a field or roost... scouting carefully is th most important part of scouting just like big bucks in the fall.. be care full when walking through looking for wing tip marks...

How would a fellow locate arial photos of his hunting area?
What if that area I hunt is mostly wooded... There is a powerline and gas line that is partially mowed/brush hogged running through the area that I hunt.
Do you recommend using a trail camera?

kpatte you can actually go on to map quest and change it to an aerial photograph or even myultimaps.com. Most of the ground I hunt here in PA is timber adn you can be just as successful in the timber as out. Look on thepower lines for turkey crap. if they are using then that would be a good ambush spot especially if there is an abundance of bugs on it. If you email me your location I will look at it on an aerial map and try to give you a good starting point anyway.

When approaching a turkey, if he spots you, he"™s gone! Be careful not to be seen. Terrain and foliage normally dictate how close you can get before setting up. Veteran hunters rarely approach inside 100 yards. They may set up as far away as 300 yards if the ground is flat and there is little foliage to conceal their movements.

Just to add up.
