Sit for a half hour or so and do some calling if nothing answers start trolling.

First I'd call the game warden and let him take care of the tresspasser on our farm... but playing along here...

If I had a good idea where they turkeys WERE, then I would try to figure out where they were GOING TO BE, and I would SIT myself there.

I realize this is kind of a well no sh*t sherlock answer... but thats what I'd do!

I'd be running-n-gunning until I struck up a bird if I had enough land to do so on. Sit and hope for the best if it is a smaller parcel of land.

I have lots or area to roam so I would go to my other spots and try and strike a bird and work him. Run and Gun with patience.
